Makes sense, do you have a screenshot we can see how it is looking like?

One of the things i think you'll need to implement is a font selector, no? So 
you can change font size, etc. That's one of the things we've been needing for 
lots of other "text based" formats, so it'd be cool to get globally :-)

Sadly you can't, you need a "contributor account" and for that there is a 
requirement you have contributed some patches before getting the account, so i 
guess for now you'll still need to be in github, sorry for the incorrect 
information :-/
