Here's something I hacked together for my new Troubleshooting book. This is
a note, but tip, warning, caution, etc are similar. I think you could do
better by using a minipage or maybe a frame to get away from the top and
bottom lines, which tend to widow/orphan:
Preamble
\newlength{\scratchLength}% scratch variable used later
EndPreamble
Style Note
LatexType Environment
LatexName note_l
LabelType Centered_Top_Environment
LabelString "NOTE"
AlignPossible Left
LeftMargin "MMMMM"
RightMargin "MMMMM"
ParSkip 0.7
ParSep 0.7
TopSep 0.7
BottomSep 0.7
Font
EndFont
Preamble
\setlength{\scratchLength}{\leftmargin}
\addtolength{\scratchLength}{1cm}
\newenvironment{note_l}
{
\begin{list}{}
{
\setlength{\leftmargin}{\scratchLength}
\setlength{\rightmargin}{\leftmargin}
\setlength{\parsep}{1cm}
}
\item[]
\hrulefill
\\[0.1cm]
{\centering\large NOTE \\[0.2cm]}
}
{
\\[0.2cm] .\hrulefill \\
\par
\end{list}
}
EndPreamble
End
