Okay. I will research this a bit more.

I do not want to add it to one markdown file, I want it added automatically to all markdown files during processing. The ideal way to do this would be to have a preference where I could have a file with content that is directly included in the HEAD of the Markdown rendered as HTML. So that rather than linking to a local file I could add content directly, including linking to local files, remote files, etc.

That Style Sheet preference produces this in the HTML.

`<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="file:///Users/mmynsted/style/lit-plus.css"/>`

This is a _local_ file reference that is often blocked by web browsers.

Better would be something like this.  
`<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="http://localhost/css/lit-plus.css"/>`

This is not blocked.

Best would be to directly include content _to all Markdown files durning processing_.  
Like the proposed solution here → [Please make it possible to include JS/CSS files in markdown rendering from Application Support folder](https://discourse.devontechnologies.com/t/please-make-it-possible-to-include-js-css-files-in-markdown-rendering-from-application-support-folder/58539)

I wish there was a hidden preference for this. As is I will just have to deal with the issue of most browsers not supporting loading local resources. It can be overridden in modern Safari, but not Orion, etc.
