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

About CSS Preprocessors

CSS preprocessors help make authoring CSS easier. All of them offer things like variables and mixins to provide convenient abstractions.

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 URLs 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 its URL and the proper URL extension.

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.

Learn more · Versions

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.

Powered by Algolia
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.

Behavior

Save Automatically?

If active, Pens will autosave every 30 seconds after being saved once.

Auto-Updating Preview

                <header>

  <h1>This is Edward Morbius's version of a motherfucking website.</h1>


  <aside>And it's <em>even still</em> more fucking perfect than the last guy's. </aside>
  
  <img src="https://picsum.photos/600/400">

</header>

<h2>Seriously, it takes <strike>minimal</strike> a small fucking effort to improve this shit.  </h2>

<p> <strong>14 fucking style rulesets.</strong> </p>

<p>That's how much CSS it took to turn that <a href="http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com/">earnest but underachieving shitty attempt</a> into this vastly superior masterpiece. It's so fucking simple and it <em>still </em> has all the glory of the original
  perfect-ass website.</p>

<ul>
  <li>Shit's <em>still </em> lightweight and loads fast </li>
  <li> <em>Still </em> fits on all your shitty screens </li>
  <li> <em>Still </em> looks the same in all your shitty browsers </li>
  <li>The motherfucker's <em>still </em> accessible to every asshole that visits your site </li>
  <li>Shit's <em>still </em> legible and gets your fucking point across </li>
</ul>

<h3>And guess what, motherfucker: </h3>

<p>We stick with the basics of a better motherfucking website, and add just a bit more polish.</p>

<h2>Your motherfucking user knows what motherfucking font they want. Or they're just stupid.</h2>

<p>So fucking give it to them. Set <code>html { font-size: medium; }</code> and use <code>rem</code> units for the rest of your elements. The users who've selected their motherfucking font sizes will appreciate it, and the motherfucking idiots who don't
  know how to will just zoom your site like they would any other.</p>


<h2>Let it breathe &mdash; in text-relative units.</h2>

<p>Yeah, yeah, motherfucker, so you've got your 1.4 unitless line height, and you've specified page margins. But what the fuck are you doing giving content width in <em>motherfucking pixels</em>? Scannable line length is determined by the <em>fucking text content</em>.
  So use <em> fucking text-based units</em>. Those are <code>em</code> units. No, motherfucker, not <code>rem</code>, this isn't some fucking page-relative size, it's relative <em>to the motherfucking current text</em></p>


<h2>For fucks, sake, white isn't "a little less contrast"</h2>

<p>So set that motherfucking background color to something other than straight white. Grey's depressing. #fffff6 is pretty fucking sweet. And I'm not fucking obsessing over "just 7 rules", so bite me.</p>


<h2>Details Fucking Matter</h2>

<p>You don't have to turn into a motherfucking graphics design weenie, but some small touches make a difference.</p>

<h3>Distinguish your fucking headers</h3> A little color, some extra breathing room, and styles to distinguish your <code>&lt;h1&gt;</code> from <code>&lt;h6&gt;</code> headers doesn't hurt.

<h4>Subordinate headings should look subordinate</h4>

<p>I mean, this clearly isn't a level-one heading, right?</p>

<h5>And so on</h5>

<p>We're getting down the fucking stack.</p>

<h6>Your lowest fucking level heading should fucking look it.</h6>

<p>Right, motherfuckers?</p>


<h3>Going beyond the basics for links doesn't hurt</h3>

<p>Sure, a <a href="http://example.com/">standard hypertext anchor</a> is easy to spot if you don't hide it, but with minimal effort, additional hover and active effects give confidence that you're selecting what you actually think you're aiming for.</p>


<h2>Yes, this is <em>still</em> fucking satire, you fuck </h2>

<p>I love what the creator of <a href="http://motherfuckingwebsite.com/">this site's inspiration </a> did, and where <a href="http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com/">this motherfucker</a> ran with it. I'm <em>still</em> saying is that it's really simple
  to make sites easier to read. Websites are broken by default, they are functional, high-performing, and accessible, but they're also fucking ugly. You and all the other web designers out there need to make them not total shit.</p>

<h2>And no, you don't have to fucking love all my shit</h2>

<p>It's an illustration. What you can do with some pretty minimal rules, without totally fucking up a user's experience. I've left out some of my usual tricks, and there may be stuff here you don't fucking like.</p>

<p>Well fuck you. But you know, I'm OK with that.</p>

<p>Just fucking <em>think</em> when you're styling your own fucking pages, know when to tell your fucking clients to fucking fuck off, and remember: a fucking little goes one fucking long way.</p>
