selector on html body in markdown

What is the best practice for specifying a body class in a markdown 
document?

For example: I would like to convert some of my markdown pages to html 
pages with purple background colour. The rest will have default white 
background.

Do I use a different style sheet for these pages?

Or, can I use a single css file introducing a "purple" class/id?

And, in the latter case, how do I specify the selector in my markdown file? 
Can I do so in the head? Can I do so in the body?

Many thanks.

You can use the --css option to specify a stylesheet for the
page you're creating.  This can include a rule to style the
body.  Note that you can use --css repeatedly, so you can
have one main stylesheet, and then another one that you just
add to the purple pages.

If you really need to put a class on the body element, then
you'd need to use a custom template. (See the manual under
Templates and --template.)
