what is the MarkdownLivePreview.css for?

[michapixel]

doesn't it style the livePreview? Seems not. Would it be possible to do this?

[michapixel]

i mean thr right side, the real (browser) preview :)

Yes it does :) But you have to be aware that it's rendered in Sublime Text's Phantom, which isn't quite the same as a regular web browser. The phantom's documentation is on the minihtml page.

Would you want to contribute and submit a PR explaining this in a bit more details in the markdown live preview's documentation?

For me it doesn't work as well. I'm using Material theme, but I want a white background in the preview. Also, the preview overflows the container.

I have tried:

html, body {
    background-color: #fff !important;
    width: 100%;
    overflow: wrap;
}

and it doesn't affect the viewer, even when I restart Sublime.

@rafaelbeckel you have to keep in mind that we aren't rendering in a browser, but Sublime's very quirky and limited minihtml.

Just to keep everything super clear:

doesn't it style the livePreview?

It does, but you can only use very few CSS properties (see minihtml link).

Thanks for the explanation! I’ve skimmed minihtml’s docs and it seems background-color property is included. Maybe I’m missing something.
