The minimal amount of CSS to replicate the GitHub Markdown style
First a rendered Markdown with all possible syntax is fetched from GitHub. Then the GitHub.com CSS is fetched and both are run through UnCSS 7879 , which extracts only the used styles, and then through a custom cleanup.
Download manually or with a package-manager.
$ npm install --save github-markdown-css$ bower install --save github-markdown-cssImport the github-markdown.css file and add a markdown-body class to the container of your rendered Markdown and set a width for it. GitHub uses 790px width and 30px padding.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="github-markdown.css">
<style>
.markdown-body {
min-width: 200px;
max-width: 790px;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 30px;
}
</style>
<article class="markdown-body">
<h1>Unicorns</h1>
<p>All the things</p>
</article>I will try to keep it up to date, but you're free to fetch the CSS yourself either through the API or CLI.
var githubMarkdownCss = require('github-markdown-css');
githubMarkdownCss(function (err, css) {
if (err) {
throw err;
}
console.log(css);
//=> .markdown-body { ...
});$ npm install --global github-markdown-css$ github-markdown-css --help
