Do you want to style your rendered #Markdown but don’t want to pollute your nice readable plain text with #HTML and #CSS?

Some dialects like #MultiMarkdown allow metadata headers for linking to stylesheets, but then you have to provide a stable link to that CSS document or package it along with the Markdown document.

Or do you? If your CSS is short and unobtrusive enough, encode it as a data: URI and put that link in your Markdown metadata.

This works great for documents stored in #PKM systems like #DEVONthink that offer Markdown editing and rendering, but require you to use links or inline CSS for any styling different from the system-wide stylesheet.

See the attached screenshot for a real-world example that boldfaces terms in a definition list using a tiny bit of encoded CSS in the Markdown metadata header.

@devontechnologies #DEVONthink will also display #CSS embedded into a #Markdown document via a #MultiMarkdown "HTML Header" metadata variable. (1st attached screenshot)

Using a "CSS" variable in MultiMarkdown to link to an external stylesheet and then using DEVONthink's document conversion *will retain* those external CSS links for #HTML and Web Archives. (2nd and 3rd screenshots)

But!

#PDF and Formatted Note conversions will *embed* the styles directly. (4th screenshot)
