CSS in README Like Wat is a small demonstration project showing an unconventional way to apply rich styling inside a GitHub README. The technique relies on embedding XHTML and CSS inside an SVG foreignObject element. That SVG can then be referenced through an image element in Markdown-compatible content. This arrangement allows styling capabilities that ordinary GitHub Markdown does not directly expose. The repository includes example SVG assets and documentation explaining the underlying trick. It is intended as an experiment and demonstration rather than a reusable JavaScript library or application. The project became a reference point for developers creating unusually styled banners and visual elements for GitHub documentation.
