As an experienced CMS website operation personnel in the field of information security, I fully understand your need for consistency and aesthetics in content display.Markdown as a lightweight markup language is loved by content creators for its concise and efficient features, and the GitHub-style Markdown rendering effect, with its clear and professional layout, is the standard that many users hope to implement on the front-end page.
The Markdown content on the AnQi CMS front-end page failed to display GitHub style. This is usually not a system error, but rather due to a lack of understanding of the AnQi CMS content rendering mechanism and negligence in the way front-end resources are introduced.AnQiCMS as a content management system, its core responsibility lies in the storage, management, and conversion of content into HTML. The final visual presentation of content on the front-end page mainly depends on the template you choose and the style resources it introduces.
The Anqi CMS provides a powerful Markdown editor that allows you to conveniently create articles containing Markdown syntax.When you use the Markdown editor in the background to write content and publish it, the system will parse these Markdown texts and convert them into standard HTML structures.However, this transformation is merely semantic and does not default to include any specific visual style, including GitHub-style Markdown styles.This is like saving a plain text file as an HTML file, even though the content is wrapped in HTML tags, the browser will not automatically apply any CSS styles unless you explicitly link a stylesheet.
To make the Markdown content you create in AnQiCMS display on the front page in GitHub style, you need to actively include the CSS files that provide these styles.The AnQiCMS template system allows you to fully control the loading of front-end resources.base.htmlthe basic template file, and in it<head>Add a link to the GitHub Markdown CSS within the tag.This CSS file contains the rules needed to define the visual styles for Markdown elements such as headings, lists, code blocks, and quotes.
In summary, the design philosophy of Anqi CMS is to provide a highly flexible and customizable content management framework.It is responsible for parsing Markdown content and converting it to HTML, but it leaves the choice of frontend styles and special rendering libraries to the website operator or template developer.This means that you need to manually introduce the required external CSS and JavaScript resources according to your needs to achieve the ideal Markdown rendering effect.
Common Questions and Answers (FAQ)
1. Why doesn't Anqi CMS integrate GitHub-style Markdown directly?
The AnQi CMS adopts a modular and lightweight design approach, aiming to provide an efficient and customizable basic content management platform.If the system is built-in with a specific style of CSS, it may increase the size of the system itself and limit the user's freedom in choosing frontend styles.By allowing users to introduce external style files independently, Anqi CMS enables you to flexibly select any Markdown rendering style, including GitHub style, based on the overall design style of the website, thus avoiding unnecessary style conflicts and functional redundancy.
2. I have added GitHub style CSS, but the mathematical formulas or flowcharts in my Markdown content are still not displayed correctly, what could be the reason?
The GitHub-styled CSS file is mainly responsible for the visual formatting of Markdown text elements (such as headings, paragraphs, lists, code blocks, etc.).However, mathematical formulas (such as LaTeX) and flowcharts (such as Mermaid) require special JavaScript libraries for parsing and dynamic rendering.base.htmlIn order to correctly display these special contents on the front-end page, you need to introduce the corresponding JavaScript libraries (such as MathJax for mathematical formulas, Mermaid.js for flowcharts).Please ensure that you have correctly added these JavaScript references as per the documentation.
