Style

You can customize the look and feel of text and headings in your document using the style/style.css file or a custom CSS file. First is transformed the Markdown document to HTML file and then apply the style. It's a little bit hacky, but works fine.

Markdown is a lightweight markup language designed as an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format and then convert it to structurally valid HTML; therefore, CSS selectors can be used to customize the curriculum.

CSS works by associating rules with HTML elements. In this case, there are a little group of selectors that can be used: h1-h6, blockquote, a, li, code, strong, em, img. You can use id or class selectors to create rules that apply to elements by using kramdown block attributes syntax.
