A typography stylesheet for readable content

Primary LanguageCSS

yue.css

yue.css is a typography stylesheet for readable content. It was created for my blog at first since I always designed a new theme for my blog. But later it becomes the offical stylesheet for yuehu site.

yue.css is not a reset stylesheet.

It is designed for article content, and only article content. If you are looking for a reset css, you are watching the wrong repository.

Installation

Install with component(1):

$ component install lepture/yue.css

However, if you don't fancy component, you can just grab the css file from GitHub. There is no dependency of this project.

API

For readable content, wrapper them under the .yue class, and everything would be ok now:

<div class="yue">
    <h1>Heading</h1>
    <p>Paragraph of contents...</p>
</div>

Tags

yue.css only supports selected tags which are commonly used in an article.

Tag Name Description
h1 - h6 headings for title
p paragraph
a anchor links
strong b emphasis in bold style
em i emphasis in italic style
img image
figure figure wrapper for images
figcaption figcaption in figure
hr separator
blockquote style for quotes
ul ol li ordered and unordered list

Headings

Headings are tags <h1>, <h2>, <h3>, <h4>, <h5> and <h6>. But the most commonly used tags are <h1>, <h2>, and <h3>.

Emphasis

Emphasis works on something important or valuable. <b> and <i> are not designed for this purpose, you should always use <strong> and <em>.

Links & Images

Links are the soul of internet. Fork it on GitHub.

art of human body

Images can be wrappered in a <figure> tag:

human body

List

There is ordered list <ol> and unordered list <ul>.

  • Unordered list is tagged in <ul>
  • Another item of unordered list
    1. An ordered list in un ordered list
    2. Another ordered item
  • Unordered list can has unordered list children
    • Item of the children
    • Another item of the children

  1. Ordered list is tagged in <ol>
  2. Each item is tagged in <li>

Note

yue.css has no target language, however it looks great in both English and Chinese.

yue.css 并不是为某一特定语言设计的,但是它确实在英文和中文上表现出色。
