The CSS

HTML5 Boilerplate's CSS includes:

Normalize.css

In order to make browsers render all elements more consistently and in line with modern standards, we include Normalize.css — a modern, HTML5-ready alternative to CSS resets.

As opposed to CSS resets, Normalize.css:

  • targets only the styles that need normalizing
  • preserves useful browser defaults rather than erasing them
  • corrects bugs and common browser inconsistencies
  • improves usability with subtle improvements
  • doesn't clutter the debugging tools
  • has better documentation

For more information about Normalize.css, please refer to its project page.

main.css

Several base styles are included that build upon Normalize.css. These styles:

  • provide basic typography settings that improve text readability
  • protect against unwanted text-shadow during text highlighting
  • tweak the default alignment of some elements (e.g.: img, video, fieldset, textarea)
  • style the prompt that is displayed to users using an outdated browser
  • and more...

These styles are included in main.css. See the main.css project documentation for a full discussion of these styles.
