title: Do <style> tags work in Markdown?
body: <p>I'm writing a Github README.md file, and i have diferent tables. The contents are different, so table width is different too.</p>
  
  <p>I want, at least the first column to be of fixed width, so i tried adding this before all the tables in the Markdown file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;style&gt;td:nth-child(odd){width:200px}&lt;/style&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Surprisingly that is working in my editor preview, but when committed to github, the text appears with the style tags stripped, and no style is applied.</p>
  
  <p>My questions is if it's possible on github, and id it is, how do i do it.</p>
