What do you do? In most cases, there's a fix: fetching the required CSS and putting it on the page with the \\`html\\` tagged template literal. Let's use [Chartist](http://gionkunz.github.io/chartist-js/index.html) as an example: it's a library that generates SVG-based charts, and uses a bunch of default CSS to style the elements. If you just include the library and create a chart, it looks pretty borked: you need the CSS.\n\n1. Figure out where the CSS is, by going to \\`https://unpkg.com/modulename\\`\n2.
