Is there a way to get colored text in GitHubflavored Markdown?
github, github-flavored-markdown
Solution
You cannot include style directives in GFM.
The most complete documentation/example is "Markdown Cheatsheet", and it illustrates that this element `<style>` is missing.
If you manage to include your text in one of the GFM elements, then you can play with a github.css stylesheet in order to colors that way, meaning to color using inline CSS style directives, referring to said css stylesheet.
Problem
I need to document a library on GitHub that output colored text in the terminal. I've tried both span `<style="color:red">` and `<font color="red">`, but it seems to strip out both tags. Is the only way to do this is with images of colored text? I ended up adding screenshots to Git and using image links with GitHub relative URLs.
