I am having trouble verifying the name of the .css
file that will modifying the readme.md
file at the root of Github repo.
I believe it is:
.github/github.css
but that doesn't seem to do anything to the Markdown. Does anyone know if this is incorrect?
GitHub does not allow for CSS to affect README.md
files through CSS for security reasons (as if you could inject CSS into a ReadMe, you could easily launch a phishing attack). This includes both stylesheets referenced through <link rel>
and inline styles used with <style>
.
The readmes are in markdown syntax, so some styling can be done, such as adding colours through placeholder images, just like here on StackOverflow. For example, you can add red squares with the following:
-  `#f03c15`
You can also make use of things like diff
, json
, html
, js
and css
to affect text colouring.
