Follow up to [Regression: Local @imported CSS no longer accessible - #19 by t0dd](https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/regression-local-imported-css-no-longer-accessible/41812/19)

Is there any reason _not_ to release this plugin? I forgot I manually installed it until I opened my laptop and wondered why the CSS was broken. I looked and I had the old version of this plugin installed on the laptop. (The up-to-date version was on my main desktop machine.) I wondered why my old version didn't update, and so I uninstalled it and then tried to install it again, and I was like … "Oh! Yeah. Right!"

And so, are we ready to put this regression to bed? Or are you planning to roll this functionality into the application proper instead?

Joplin's powerful application of CSS is one clear differentiator. Let's get this regression stamped out.

Cheers. -t

Hmm, I'm vaguely suspecting that you're the only one who uses this `@import` feature which is why I'm not so keen to add it to the app. If there was maybe more feature requests for this we could consider adding it, but otherwise a plugin does make sense.

I've published the plugin to NPM: [joplin-plugin-import-local-css - npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/joplin-plugin-import-local-css).

You may be right. Or … folks just assume that Joplin is just like all the other note-taking applications and has limited support for external CSS and thus shrug it off and move on. But, then again, yeah, maybe it is just me. Heh. But … it is such a powerful feature and was a primary draw for me.
