Does anyone here know where one can get hold of a working style sheet file for
md rendering using mod_markdown?

I found one such file from my earlier attempts and it half way works but is
having problems with code sections marked with triple backticks ( ``` ) marking
start and end of code sections.
It also uses a strange center view of the text with very big unused margins to
both sides. Not optimal for my use which needs full-width text and smaller
font..
Also line feeds using double spaces at the end of a line are not observed so
texts that are supposed to go on a number of separate lines are clobbered
together as one single paragraph.
There are more such things.....

So I need a better css file if possible.

BTW if I remove the css file then the built-in renderer becomes very dependent
on the local browser's default settings which also screws up stuff like font
sizes and such.
