Stylesheets and other assets

-

Ecmarkup requires CSS styles and other assets. By default all assets are inlined into the document. You can override this by setting assets to "none" (for example if you want to manually link to external assets) or "external". When using "external" the default directory for assets is `assets` in the same directory as the output file, but you can override this with `--assets-dir`.

Effects

Abstract operations can be marked as having effects that propagate to their invocation sites. Subject to the following rules, calls to such operations are given a class of the effect name prefixed with “e-”. When using `markEffects`, the CSS includes styling for the "user-code" effect via class name `e-user-code` that is off by default but can be togged by pressing u.
