Marked previewing only default CSS

Hi-
I just bought Marked, and maybe I'm not getting it, but it will only show the default "boring" css-style preview. I've tried switching the CSS styles in the Preferences pane, imported a style from the web, and restarted the app. Is there something special I need to do in the text file itself to name a specific CSS style preview in Marked?

many thanks!

   The style name shown in the lower left is actually a popup button. Click it and choose your style: http://ckyp.us/fJ7k

   Thanks Brett-
   I didn't know that was a pop-up. But alas, switching it does nothing to my preview. I've tried every style in the list, restarted the app, and it just stays there at the default style. My Mac OS is 10.7.5, and I"m editing the text files in TextMate. Let me know if you think of anything else (I attached a movie showing what I'm talking about).

   Many thanks.

   It's because you're editing an HTML file. Marked can't function in its normal capacity with pre-built markup, so if the file has an HTML extension it's assumed that it has a full document structure and Marked avoids injecting stylesheets into it. It's also assumed that if you're editing an HTML file, you already have your own stylesheets embedded or linked. Work with Markdown, you'll save yourself a ton of time and be able to use Marked fully :).

   Thank you! I was more stupid than you thought, perhaps. I forgot there was a syntax to this whole thing. I'm an idiot. Thank you!
