The problem is that for each paragraph page we are having a grayish background color that makes it really ugly to read books. I looked over the internet and certain people have found out a work around - to remove the background colour property. Hence I thought of raising this bug and doing a code fix myself. Even for my novel that I am generating via pandoc I have to give a custom css just for removing the background colour.

Pandoc version?

this applies to all pandoc version because the issue is in the style.css in the data folder.
