sanitize.css sanitize

sanitize.css is a CSS library that provides consistent, cross-browser default styling of HTML elements alongside useful defaults.

It is developed alongside normalize.css, which means every normalization is included, and every normalization and opinion are clearly marked and documented.

Usage

<link href="https://unpkg.com/sanitize.css" rel="stylesheet" />

Forms

A separate stylesheet that normalizes form controls without side effects.

<link href="https://unpkg.com/sanitize.css/forms.css" rel="stylesheet" />

A separate stylesheet that sizes form controls without affecting native styles.

<link href="https://unpkg.com/sanitize.css/formsize.css" rel="stylesheet" />

Typography

A separate stylesheet that normalizes typography using system interface fonts.

<link href="https://unpkg.com/sanitize.css/typography.css" rel="stylesheet" />

Measure

A separate stylesheet that applies a comfortable measure to the page.

<link href="https://unpkg.com/sanitize.css/measure.css" rel="stylesheet" />

Install

npm install --save sanitize.css

Webpack Usage

Import sanitize.css in CSS:

@import 'sanitize.css';
@import 'sanitize.css/typography.css';
@import 'sanitize.css/forms.css';

Alternatively, import sanitize.css in JS:

import 'sanitize.css';
import 'sanitize.css/typography.css';
import 'sanitize.css/forms.css';

In webpack.config.js, be sure to use the appropriate loaders:

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.css$/,
        use: [ 'style-loader', 'css-loader' ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

What does it do?

  • Normalizes styles for a wide range of elements.
  • Corrects bugs and common browser inconsistencies.
  • Provides common, useful defaults.
  • Explains what code does using detailed comments.

Typography Features

The default font is the system ui font
html {
  font-family:
    system-ui,
    /* macOS 10.11-10.12 */ -apple-system,
    /* Windows 6+ */ Segoe UI,
    /* Android 4+ */ Roboto,
    /* Ubuntu 10.10+ */ Ubuntu,
    /* Gnome 3+ */ Cantarell,
    /* KDE Plasma 5+ */ Noto Sans,
    /* fallback */ sans-serif,
    /* macOS emoji */ "Apple Color Emoji",
    /* Windows emoji */ "Segoe UI Emoji",
    /* Windows emoji */ "Segoe UI Symbol",
    /* Linux emoji */ "Noto Color Emoji";
}
Pre-formatted and code-formatted text uses the monospace system ui font
code, kbd, pre, samp {
  font-family:
    /* macOS 10.10+ */ Menlo,
    /* Windows 6+ */ Consolas,
    /* Android 4+ */ Roboto Mono,

normalize.css and sanitize.css correct browser bugs while carefully testing and documenting changes. normalize.css styles adhere to css specifications. sanitize.css styles adhere to common developer expectations and preferences. reset.css unstyles all elements. Both sanitize.css and normalize.css are maintained in sync.
