I am using the Origami theme for a blog. I am writing pages using markdown (syntax).
My blog contains some code, but it is displaying as plain text since css is not defined for code in the theme. I considered customizing css for this purpose, but figured if there is no css in the theme for code them maybe I am using the wrong theme.
I like the design philosophy of SiteOrigin. Is there another theme that is more appropriate for my purpose?
I went ahead and added custom css:
code {
background-color: #00ff00;
}

Note: all my “code” references got rendered as html. This makes the post basically unreadable. Don’t know how to edit the post….
Hi John
I’d imagine you could add a plugin to help handle this. Here are a few ideas:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-markdown/
I haven’t had any experience with this so don’t have a single plugin that I can recommend.
Thanks Andrew. I am using the markdown plugin avaialble through jetpack.
i was able to add the custom css to the Origami theme. One must click the checkbox in settings to get it to work.
I guess I would add a feature request to the origami developers: provide css support for html tags like code and quote

Glad to hear you made progress there.
Thanks for the feedback. There should be support for code and quote. I’ll make a note of that on my side.
All the best.
