Visual Styles
wiremd includes 7 built-in visual styles. Pass one with --style on the CLI or { style: '...' } in the API.

|---|---|---|
sketch | Hand-drawn, Balsamiq-style | Brainstorming, low-fidelity |
clean | Modern minimal | Presentations, high-fidelity mockups |
wireframe | Black & white, traditional | Developer handoff, specs |
material | Material Design inspired | Android apps, Google-style |
brutal | Neo-brutalism, bold colors | Artistic, statement designs |
tailwind | Tailwind CSS utility classes | Tailwind projects |
none | Semantic HTML, no CSS | Custom styling |
sketch is the default when no style is specified.
