 * I have really enjoyed discovering using your plugin since as an old-school developer
   I like being able to comment code in a separate own block.
 *     ```
       :root {
         --markdown-comment-color: #B4473C;
         --markdown-comment-font-size: 15px;
         --markdown-comment-line-height: 1.8;
        }
       ```
   
 * However, I dropped your suggested code in my custom CSS editor, using the Twenty
   Sixteen theme, and I get the error Expected Rbrace when leaving the — before 
   the properties, and Unknown Property when I remove them.
 * I’m absolutely ready to give you a 5* review once I find out how to customize
   the comment styling.
 * Thoughts?
