 - Seitenmarken (`--page-markers`) aus einem Kastentitel stehen jetzt vor dem Kasten statt im fetten Titel,
   wie bei Überschriften.
 
+### Behoben
+
+- `pandoc/callouts.lua`: Die Kästen blieben ohne Rahmen, wenn man Pandoc zusätzlich `-H`/`--include-in-header`
+  übergab, und im EPUB hatten nur die Titelseite, nicht die Kapitel, das Kasten-CSS. Das CSS steht jetzt in
+  `pandoc/callouts.css`; der Filter setzt es bei HTML an den Anfang des Dokuments und fügt es bei EPUB den
+  Stylesheets hinzu (zusammen mit Pandocs Standard-CSS bzw. zu eigenen `css:`-Angaben).
+
 ### Dokumentation
 
 - `--no-css-emphasis` lässt `<mark>`-Markierungen bestehen; diese steuert `--styles`.
