5Extremely simple, small, classless CSS framework in the style of Vercel's Geist. Inspired by [xz/new.css](https://github.com/xz/new.css).
6
7The minified stylesheet weighs only **~4.8kb** and can make any plain HTML file look clean and modern.
8
9It has a light and dark theme, and the header turns into a sidebar on wider displays so that you get more vertical space.

11## Importing
12
13In your HTML's `<head>` all you have to write is this, and you're done! (`.min` means to minify the file)
14
15```html
16<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@intergrav/dev.css@2">
17```
18
19I also recommend adding a font through [intergrav/fonts](https://github.com/intergrav/fonts). Geist or Inter work with dev.css out of the box. It will use the default system/browser san-serif fonts otherwise.

36## Elements
37
38dev.css takes advantage of semantic HTML elements. Here are some guidelines on how these should be used for the best results.
39
40### Header
41
42Use the `<header>` tag to create a large header for your page. Only use this at the very top of your `<body>`, or else it may look wonky.
43
44For the title, the header should contain an `<h1>` tag. You can also add an `<h4>` tag before the `<h1>` tag if you want to show extra information.
45
46If you need a navigation bar, you can add a `<nav>` with `<a>` links inside it. dev.css will automatically add dividing bullet points between or before the `<a>` tags, depending on whether the user is in topbar or sidebar mode. In sidebar mode, the navigation bar will lay out into separate lines.
47
48Optionally, you could add a `<p>` tag after the `<h1>` tag if you want to give a description of the page the user is currently on.
49
50### Text
51
52Wrap all body text in `<p>` tags, unless it's the sole child of another element. If you want to write quotes, you can use the `<blockquote>` tag. To highlight text, wrap it in the `<mark>` tag. Want to show code? Use `<code>` for short inline code. Use `<pre>` for code blocks. Use `<kbd>` for keyboard input.
53
54### Button
55
56For a link button, you can wrap the button in an `<a>` tag. Here's a code example:
57
58```html
59<a href="https://example.com">
60 <button>Click me!</button>
61</a>
62```
63
64### Details
65
66The `<details>` element can make a toggle-able dropdown without using any JavaScript. Here's a code example:
67
68```html
69<details>
70 <summary>Click me!</summary>
71 <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</p>
72</details>
73```

79## Themes
80
81You can use custom colors and custom fonts in dev.css through themes. See the `/theme` folder to view some premade ones. You can also copy the `boilerplate.css` and make a theme yourself. Simply apply it after the dev.css stylesheet. For example, to apply the terminal theme, put this after your main stylesheet:
82
83```html
84<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@intergrav/dev.css@2/theme/terminal.min.css">
