Markdown Discuss - Jan 2011 - ReMarkdown.css makes HTML look like Markdown text

Hello everyone on the list,

I?m borrowing a bit of your time in order to present a little CSS experiment
I?ve been working on: a stylesheet which gives a Markdown-like aspect to
HTML elements, especially those elements that the Markdown syntax generates
in the first place.
This means > signs for blockquotes, # signs or underlines for titles, etc.
I wrote a mini-website for it: http://covertprestige.info/css/remarkdown/

Of course, it probably has very little value. If Markdown is (mostly) for
generating HTML, why make it look like plain text again? The answer is:
because it looked like fun.
Comments, suggestions and publicity welcome. :)

Best,

Hi Florent,

it's a lot of fun indeed! I might use it at some point to because I like
very much the plain-text aesthetic. Forwarding this to friends of mine ;-)
