Neon: electric dark for documents with a pulse

Neon runs your markdown through the night: cyan headings, magenta accents, violet-black depth, and a print stylesheet that lands light. Below is a complete sample rendered in it.

What does the Neon theme look like?

This is a complete sample report rendered in Neon: the exact output the editor downloads, embedded here unmodified.

Quarterly Growth Report

Written by an LLM in seconds, styled by markdown.style.

This is the markdown an AI assistant hands you: solid structure, zero design. The theme you are looking at is doing all of the visual work.

Highlights

Region Revenue Growth
EMEA 4.2M +14%
APAC 3.1M +22%
AMER 6.8M +9%

What drove the quarter

Net growth is computed per region as rate * (1 - churnShare) and rolled up weekly. The pipeline behind it:

export function netGrowth(rates: number[], churn: number[]): number {
  return rates.reduce((sum, r, i) => sum + r * (1 - (churn[i] ?? 0)), 0)
}

Numbers exclude the acquisition closed after the quarter cutoff.[1]


Full methodology lives in the reporting handbook.

Math

Markdown

The compound growth rate is $r = (V_f/V_i)^{1/n} - 1$.

Averaged across all quarters:

$$\bar{r} = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n} r_i$$

Neon

The compound growth rate is r=(Vf/Vi)1/n1r = (V_f/V_i)^{1/n} - 1.

Averaged across all quarters:

rˉ=1ni=1nri\bar{r} = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n} r_i
