Package Exports

github-markdown-css
github-markdown-css/github-markdown.css
github-markdown-css/package.json

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (github-markdown-css) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

github-markdown-css

The minimal amount of CSS to replicate the GitHub Markdown style

Demo

How

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, which extracts only the used styles, and then through a custom cleanup.

Install

Download manually or with a package-manager.

$ npm install --save github-markdown-css

$ bower install --save github-markdown-css

Usage

Import 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>

Programmatic usage

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 { ...
});

CLI

$ npm install --global github-markdown-css

$ github-markdown-css --help

Usage
  $ github-markdown-css > <filename>
