Package description
The sanitize.css package is a CSS library that provides consistent, cross-browser default styling for HTML elements. It's designed to normalize styles across different browsers, remove default margins, and apply a consistent box-sizing model. This helps in creating a more predictable styling baseline for web projects.
Normalize styles
This code ensures that every element on the page, including pseudo-elements, inherits the box-sizing property from the html element, which is set to border-box. This makes it easier to manage layouts as it includes padding and border in the element's total width and height.
html { box-sizing: border-box; } *, *::before, *::after { box-sizing: inherit; }
Remove default margins
This code removes the default margins from common elements like body, headings, paragraphs, and others. It provides a clean slate for adding custom spacing without having to override browser defaults.
body, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, figure, blockquote, dl, dd { margin: 0; }
Set default font-family
This sets the default font family to sans-serif for the entire HTML document, ensuring a consistent typography baseline across different browsers.
html { font-family: sans-serif; }
normalize.css is a popular CSS reset library that aims to normalize styles across browsers. It focuses on fixing common inconsistencies and preserving useful defaults rather than unifying all styles like sanitize.css. While both aim to provide a consistent styling baseline, normalize.css is more about correcting quirks without imposing a specific styling philosophy.
reset-css is another CSS reset library that aims to strip away all default browser styling on elements. Unlike sanitize.css, which applies minimalistic default styles and normalizes differences, reset-css provides a clean slate by removing all styles, allowing developers to start styling from scratch.
Changelog
1.0.0 (11 6, 2012)
Normalize.css had and still has opinionated, developer-centric styles. For example,
sub
andsup
elements are styled to not impact the line height of text, andtable
,th
, andtd
omit all spacing. As Nicolas pushed Normalize.css into maturity, future preferences like these no longer had a place in the project. Almost a year later, Sanitize was officially branded. Where Normalize.css conservatively follows user agent consensus and results in more pre-styled elements, Sanitize.css liberally follows developer consensus and results in more unstyled elements.
