5Tiny, simple, classless CSS framework in the style of Vercel's [Geist](https://vercel.com/geist) design system. Inspired by [xz/new.css](https://github.com/xz/new.css).

7The minified stylesheet weighs only **~4.8kb** and can make any plain HTML file look clean and modern. It also has a light and dark theme.

9## Importing
10
11In your HTML's `<head>` all you have to write is this, and you're done! (`.min` means to minify the file)
12
13```html
14<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@intergrav/dev.css@3">
15```
16
17I 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 if those are not available.

37## Elements
38
39dev.css takes advantage of semantic HTML elements. Here are some guidelines on how these should be used for the best results.
40
41### Header
42
43Use 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.
44
45For 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.
46
47If 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.
48
49Optionally, 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.
50
51### Footer
52
53Optionally, use the `<footer>` tag to create a large footer for your page. Only use this at the bottom of your `<body>`, or else it may look wonky. You can add whatever content in here that you'd like.
54
55### Text
56
57Wrap 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.
58
59### Button
60
61For a link button, you can wrap the button in an `<a>` tag. Here's a code example:
62
63```html
64<a href="https://example.com">
65 <button>Click me!</button>
66</a>
67```
68
69### Details
70
71The `<details>` element can make a toggle-able dropdown without using any JavaScript. Here's a code example:
72
73```html
74<details>
75 <summary>Click me!</summary>
76 <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</p>
77</details>
78```

84## Themes
85
86You 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:
87
88```html
89<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@intergrav/dev.css@3/theme/terminal.min.css">
