To familiarize myself with the SilverBullet environment, I set myself a challenge: **style the tasks**. It was laborious but the objective was achieved.

The solution, based on a JS script, is published in my repository [Github](https://github.com/Baudogit/silverbullet/tree/main/Tasks%20styling) (I am not familiar with publishing via the Library Manager. Sorry!).

## You will find:

- **observer.js** which does the job
- **observer\_start.md** which stores custom CSS rules in a `space-lua` (yes, NOT a `space-style`!) and launches observer.js when the SilverBullet session starts

Please read **observer\_README\_FR.md** or **observer\_README\_EN.md** to learn everything about the making-off and set up your own rules.

Other files are made available, including:

- **observer\_tests.md** to check your installation and custom rules
- observer\_new\_avec\_log.js and observer\_old\_avec\_debug.js to access quantifications and runtime markup in the console. These older versions do not support passing arguments from space-lua (see observer\_Readme).

This script anticipates the development proposed here [https://github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet/issues/1740](https://github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet/issues/1740). @zef: can you take a look and check the consistency between the two approaches? THANKS.

Please send me your feedback here (not on Github) by publishing an image of your customization.

Happy styling!
