pelican-css makes it easy to embed custom CSS into individual Pelican articles and pages.

How

git clone https://notabug.org/jorgesumle/pelican-css in your plugins folder and add the name of the plugin to your pelicanconf.py file:

PLUGIN_PATHS = ['plugins']
PLUGINS = ['pelican-css'] # You may have more plugins

Next, create css directory in your content directory...

website/
├── content
│   ├── css/
│   │   ├── your_custom_style1.css
│   │   └── your_custom_style2.css
│   ├── article1.md
│   └── pages
│       └── about.md
└── pelican.conf.py

And then add each resource as a comma-separated file name in the CSS tag:

Title: Mejor sin Wordpress
Date: 2017-02-09 18:51
Tags: programación, Wordpress, generador de páginas estáticas, generador de sitios web estáticos, rendimiento, eficiencia, comodidad, desventajas
Category: Desarrollo web
Author: jorgesumle
Slug: mejor-sin-wordpress
CSS: your_custom_style1.css, your_custom_style2.css

Finally, in your base template (likely named base.html), you need to add the following in your <head> tag:

{% if article %}
    {% if article.styles %}
        {% for style in article.styles %}
            {{ style|format(SITEURL) }}
        {% endfor %}
    {% endif %}
{% endif %}

So, in the template I use for my blog now looks like the following:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset=utf-8">
    <title>{% block title %} {{SITENAME}} {% endblock %}</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ SITEURL }}/theme/css/style.css" type="text/css">
    {% if article %}
        {% if article.styles %}
            {% for style in article.styles %}
                {{ style|format(SITEURL) }}
            {% endfor %}
        {% endif %}
    {% endif %}
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class=container>
        {% block header %}
            {% include "header.html" %}
        {% endblock %}

        <div class="content">
        {% block content %} {% endblock %}
        </div>

        {% block footer %}
            {% include "footer.html" %}
        {% endblock %}
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

That's it! Run your standard make html or make publish commands and your CSS will be copied and ref'd in the right places.

The previous code only works for articles. For most people that's enough. If you want to enable custom CSS in pages too insert the following code your <head> tag...

{% if page %}
    {% if page.styles %}
        {% for style in page.styles %}
            {{ style|format(SITEURL) }}
        {% endfor %}
    {% endif %}
{% endif %}
