HTML

About HTML Preprocessors

HTML preprocessors can make writing HTML more powerful or convenient. For instance, Markdown is designed to be easier to write and read for text documents and you could write a loop in Pug.

Adding Classes

In CodePen, whatever you write in the HTML editor is what goes within the <body> tags in a basic HTML5 template. So you don't have access to higher-up elements like the <html> tag. If you want to add classes there that can affect the whole document, this is the place to do it.

About the <head>

In CodePen, whatever you write in the HTML editor is what goes within the <body> tags in a basic HTML5 template. If you need things in the <head> of the document, put that code here.

CSS Base

About CSS Base

It's a common practice to apply CSS to a page that styles elements such that they are consistent across all browsers. We offer two of the most popular choices: normalize.css and a reset. Or, choose Neither and nothing will be applied.

Vendor Prefixing

About Vendor Prefixing

To get the best cross-browser support, it is a common practice to apply vendor prefixes to CSS properties and values that require them to work. For instance -webkit- or -moz-.

We offer two popular choices: Autoprefixer (which processes your CSS server-side) and -prefix-free (which applies prefixes via a script, client-side).

Add External Stylesheets/Pens

Any URL's added here will be added as <link>s in order, and before the CSS in the editor. You can use the CSS from another Pen by using it's URL and the proper URL extention.

Powered by Algolia
About External Resources

You can apply CSS to your Pen from any stylesheet on the web. Just put a URL to it here and we'll apply it, in the order you have them, before the CSS in the Pen itself.

You can also link to another Pen here (use the .css URL Extension) and we'll pull the CSS from that Pen and include it. If it's using a matching preprocessor, use the appropriate URL Extension and we'll combine the code before preprocessing, so you can use the linked Pen as a true dependency.

JavaScript

About JavaScript Preprocessors

JavaScript preprocessors can help make authoring JavaScript easier and more convenient.

Babel includes JSX processing.

Add External Scripts/Pens

Any URL's added here will be added as <script>s in order, and run before the JavaScript in the editor. You can use the URL of any other Pen and it will include the JavaScript from that Pen.

About External Resources

You can apply a script from anywhere on the web to your Pen. Just put a URL to it here and we'll add it, in the order you have them, before the JavaScript in the Pen itself.

If the script you link to has the file extension of a preprocessor, we'll attempt to process it before applying.

You can also link to another Pen here, and we'll pull the JavaScript from that Pen and include it. If it's using a matching preprocessor, we'll combine the code before preprocessing, so you can use the linked Pen as a true dependency.

Packages

Add Packages

Search for and use JavaScript packages from npm here. By selecting a package, an import statement will be added to the top of the JavaScript editor for this package.

Powered by Algolia
About Packages

Using packages here is powered by Skypack, which makes packages from npm not only available on a CDN, but prepares them for native JavaScript ES6 import usage.

All packages are different, so refer to their docs for how they work.

If you're using React / ReactDOM, make sure to turn on Babel for the JSX processing.

  <h3>Background:</h3>
  <p>Margaret Walker was born on the 7th of July, 1915 in Birmingha, Alabama to Reverend Sigismund C. Walker and Marion Dozier Walker. Her father was a minister,professor, and linguist who loved literature and her mother a musicologist and professor. Her
    parents instilled in her a love for scholarship, music and church and this resonated in her life and literary works. Young Margaret grew up in a close knit family where religion, education, racial pride, music and literature where greatly emphasized
    by her parents.She acquired a zest for literature and aesthetic knowledge at a very young age which paralleled her father's. Her mother instilled in her a love of all forms of music from classical works to those traditional melodies that permeats
    African American culture. By the time she was an adolescent, she was practically writing daily. Her parents encouraged her and she got her first journal from her father. With all the love and encouragement surrounding her, she began at age 13 to nurture
    a talent she soon mastered.</p>
  <p>During her second year in college, Walker had the opportunity to meet renowned poet Langston Hughes. Hughes advised Walker's parents to have their daughter educated in the North and encouraged Walker to keep writing and refining her style. She was also
    influenced by W. E. Du Bois, Gwendolyn Brooks, Richard Wright(who became her friend) amongst others. She married James Alexander and they had four kids. She relocated to Jackson Mississippi, where she lectured in Jackson State University until her
    retirement in 1979. She was a perfectionist, so despite her many written works, she ended up publishing only a novel and five volumes of poetry. After suffering for a while from breast cancer,Walker died on the 30th of November, 1998 at the age of
    83.

  </ul>
  <p>Although Margaret Walker was a literay giant in her time, unlike her contemporaries, most of her texts were not really reviewed due to several reasons, one of which was; her location in the South. Most of her contemporaries migrated to the North in
    search of big publishing houses in order to not only publish their works but also to be visible to critics in the literary circle. Walker however in her characteristic way did not feel the need to migrate to be heard. Rather she writes in her book
    On Being Female, Black and Free that:
    <ul><strong>Always I am determined to overcome adversity, determined to win, dertemined to be me, myself at my best, always female, always black, andeverlastingly free...Nobody can tell me what to write because nobody owns me and nobody can pull my strings. I have not been writing to make money or earn my living...Writing is my life, but it is an avocation nobody can buy. In this respect, I believe I am a free agent, stupid perhaps, but me and still free</strong>(Walker,
      On Being, 8)</ul>
    <p>According to Doaa Abdelhafez Hamada,
      <ul><strong>these strong, assertive and defiant sentences...indicate how the desire to be herself was her essential asset</strong>(Hamada, <a href="https://books.google.com.ng/books?id=btsxBwAAQBAJ&pg=PA17&lpg=PA17&dq=hamada%27s+writings+on+margaret+walker&source=bl&ots=xwYY1CViT9&sig=Qa9paXKwfVnByHTKPsApo1TIvwY&hl=en&sa=X&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=hamada%27s%20writings%20on%20margaret%20walker&f=false"
          target="_blank">
  This is Her Century, 1).</a>
      </ul>
      Also Walker's sporadic appearance in the literary scene due to family ties and her commitment to Academia did not serve to help her at all. Nikki Giovanni(an African American poet) also lamented on the fact that although Walker
      <ul><strong>singlehandedly turned poetry upside down with her declaration of love and her challenge to the future of her people," she remained outside the canon of African American literature</strong>(Hamada,2)</ul>
      <p>That is why Giovanni is quoted as referring to Walker as
        <ul><strong>the most famous person nobody knows</strong> (Graham Fields,xi, Hamada).</ul>
