Please copy GitHub's CSS styles for its markdown files. This may sound petty, but I really think it's part of the reason why open source projects do so well there. GitHub nailed it. It's a pleasure to read compared to the competition's representation. This will help: http://sindresorhus.com/github-markdown-css/ http://sindresorhus.com/github-markdown-css/

Obviously copying anything is not possible unless they have a free license. I agree that GitHub's rendering of markdown files is much better than ours. We hope to improve it. Our first interaction engineer just started and we're looking to hire more https://about.gitlab.com/jobs/ https://about.gitlab.com/jobs/ Of course, you're very welcome to submit improvements yourself, as long as you do not submit proprietary code.

      I'm happy to report we just improved the markdown file rendering in GitLab, this started because of the comments here.

        Ah, that was going to be my excuse to start contributing to GitLab! But either way, happy it's been taken care of.
