Hello all, Great work Gerald! Your theme seems to be a good basis for others. I would use Bootstrap for a better rendering by default but this is a personal choice ;)
In the same spirit (but not the same goal), I made some "Markdown dummy data" from two whole public domain books with notes and images: - "A TEXT-BOOK OF ASTRONOMY" by GEORGE C. COMSTOCK [1] - "True Stories of Wonderful Deeds" [2] They are designed to be test contents for WebDocBook [3] but can be used for any other usage as it is written with raw Markdown (using the Extended syntax). As you may see, the rendering almost works "as-is" on GitHub browser viewer (even for images). Do not hesitate to fork the original repo and use it according to your needs. Regards.
