Custom markdown styling support

[ahmednah]

Hi @adullage, I would like to ask if there's any plan to add any way to support markdown custom styling (custome CSS or note themes) as found in Obsidian Themes and controlling font size in final note appearance.

Hi @ahmednah 👋. There are currently no plans in terms of custom theming but the recent implementation of the dark theme would make it fairly simple to implement custom colours. Is custom colours something you'd be interested in?

The font size is something I'd like to work on as for a lot of people, it is too small. I'll try and get to this in the near future.

Apart from colours and font size, is there anything you'd like to see?

• I'd like to have the option to have lists displayed next to each other, if their width allows it. The related css attribute is display: inline-block;. For my old system I also need vertical-align:top; to make it look good

  • the use-case is a page with many small lists where each item is only a short piece of text.
  • For me personally each list consists of 2-5 <a> elements, and I have ~20 lists of those small lists on a page. I use that page as a start-page on different browsers across many devices as crude, but robust, bookmark sync

• I'd like to apply custom fonts

  • this would probably be much harder to implement, but it's also less important, at least for me

For me it wouldn't have to be a full-fledged custom theming system. A quick "at-your-own-risk" option for powerusers would be everything I need.

some suggestions:

• a single css file, that I can place somewhere on the server, and that will simply be applied in addition to all the default ones. [2]
• a config-flag that allows <style> blocks in the markdown [1]

I guess modifiying the file on the docker-image could already work, but that will probably break things when updates happen.

note: I am absolutely not familiar with flatnotes (yet). So it is absolutely possible that I am missing something significant here.
