- Markdown is a simple and fast way to write text with formatting like bold, italics, and lists.
- Markdown content is transformed into HTML for display on websites.
- Styling markdown content can be done using pre-defined CSS frameworks like Tailwind Typography or custom CSS.
- Key elements to style include paragraphs, headings, images, lists, quotes, tables, code blocks, and thematic breaks.
- Styling tips: Use CSS variables for consistency, ensure responsiveness, and apply specific styles for readability.
- For headings, set font sizes, weights, and colors to improve navigation.
- Images should use `object-fit: scale-down` and proper sizing.
- Lists need margins and `overflow-wrap` for better display.
- Quotes can include attribution with additional styling.
- Tables require specific CSS for responsiveness and readability.
- Code blocks should have monospaced fonts and scrollable overflow.
- Thematic breaks (horizontal lines) can be styled for visual separation.
