Will there be more stylable elements?
Completed
The Composer theme specification:
http://support.multimarkdown.com/kb/composer-v4/multimarkdown-composer-v4-themes
which is cited in lieu of a separate specification for nvUltra themes:
https://multimarkdown.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360050960053/comments/360012836654
includes this comment:
You'll notice that there is not a specific styling for links as opposed to regular brackets. This is because there is not a separate markup to disambiguate links without a bit of processing.
Does this mean that it's unlikely nvUltra's theme schema will be expanded to include hyperlinks, wikilinks, or tags?
One small frustration I have with my current note-taking app is that I'm unable to style the URLs of inline Markdown links. I'd like to be able to assign them a low-contrast colour to preserve the flow of text.
Because this post takes a complaining tone, I'd like to add: This would hardly be a deal-breaker; I'm already resolved to switch to this brilliant app. Thank you both for your work on nvAlt, MMD, and other projects from which I've benefited immensely already.

I'm not sure I follow what you're unable to do.... Assuming the default is no styling at all (e.g. the same as regular text), what is it you want to style that is forcing you to also style inline links?

I find it cumbersome to read text in the editor pane which contains inline links to long URLs, and was hoping to assign a low-contrast colour to just the URLs (i.e. portion inside the parentheses) so that the eye can skip over them to the next word or sentence. This would also give the reader a sense of how much actual text is in a paragraph, and how dense with links it is. I think this is what the author of this post would like as well.
I'm aware that reference links (MMD, Pandoc) can be of help here, and I think they should be preferred where the Markdown source of a document will be published; but in many contexts I think there are reasons to prefer plain Markdown links: besides being easier to write, documents with reference links are a bit more brittle (altering the text inside an MMD reference link will break it unless the reference is updated, accidentally deleting the reference will break the link, deleting the link while editing may leave an orphaned reference behind).

Yes, this is exactly what I was asking for here. I endorse everything Sean Akahane-Bryen wrote above.

I would really appreciate being able to do this too, eventually.

Working on something here for upcoming release (probably not the next one, but the one after).
