Improve Markdown Style?



  • Is it possible to improve the styling for npm README Markdown files. For example, code items have a plain white background and courier font. Typically, the styling is much more distinct for those elements. Improvements to the styling (or a way to change it) would be appreciated. Thanks for all the hard work.

    Product: ProGet
    Version: 4.5.3



  • I believe we're using a stylesheet that came from GitHub's formatting for the npmjs README files... but I'm not entirely sure, so it should look fairly similar to npmjs and gitub's style.



  • Hmmmm :/ it seems like the main css that is being used is normalize.css which obviously is removing any interesting styling. Honestly, I don't see any styles on the page like you are describing. I believe we are on the most recent version. Not sure if we are missing something.



  • Can you share a npmjs package that has styling? We'd like to identify how it's formatting on GitHub vs NPMjs vs ProGet.



  • Sure thing. Here is what I'm talking about:

    A README.md file on Proget:

    A README.md file on GitHub:

    A README.md file on npm:

    The main thing that would be nice is better code styling. Notice how GitHub and npm highlight code in an easy to read way with syntax being highlighted (at least for github). The ProGet Styling makes it a bit hard to read. Does that make sense?

    Thanks!



  • Thank you for the detailed response - it turns out we used to use the marked.css styling for this, but the specific CSS class it applied to was removed when the package pages were unified. We'll add that back for v4.6.0. The only difference is that language syntax will not be highlighted.



  • Thanks!!!!!! That will help a lot.
