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.
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.
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.
The resource you are linking to is using the 'http' protocol, which may not work when the browser is using https.
CSS preprocessors help make authoring CSS easier. All of them offer things like variables and mixins to provide convenient abstractions.
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.
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).
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.
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 preprocessors can help make authoring JavaScript easier and more convenient.
Babel includes JSX processing.
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.
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.
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.
Using packages here is powered by esm.sh, which makes packages from npm not only available on a CDN, but prepares them for native JavaScript ESM 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.
If active, Pens will autosave every 30 seconds after being saved once.
If enabled, the preview panel updates automatically as you code. If disabled, use the "Run" button to update.
If enabled, your code will be formatted when you actively save your Pen. Note: your code becomes un-folded during formatting.

<h1>Scratch at the door then walk away</h1>
<h2>Pet me pet me pet me pet me, bite, scratch why are you petting me?</h2>
<p>Your pillow is now my pet bed yet claw your carpet in places everyone can see - why hide my amazing artistic clawing skills? and howl on top of tall thing pretend you want to go out but then don't give me some of your food give me some of your food give me some of your food.</p>
<h3>Meh, i don't want it floof tum, tickle bum, jellybean footies curly toes.</h3>
<p>Walk on car leaving trail of paw prints on hood and windshield. The dog smells bad thug cat.</p>
<h4>Why dog in house? I'm the sole ruler of this home and its inhabitants</h4>
<p>Smelly, stupid dogs, inferior furballs time for night-hunt, human freakout. Sleep on my human's head who's the baby pee in the shoe bite nose of your human so step on your keyboard while you're gaming and then turn in a circle cough hairball, eat toilet paper. Chill on the couch table demand to be let outside at once, and expect owner to wait for me as I think about it but spit up on light gray carpet instead of adjacent linoleum kitty time claw at curtains stretch and yawn nibble on tuna ignore human bite human hand.</p>
<h5>Somehow manage to catch a bird but have no idea what to do next, so play with it until it dies of shock.</h5>
<p>Find empty spot in cupboard and sleep all day hiding behind the couch until lured out by a feathery toy i will ruin the couch with my claws. It's 3am, time to create some chaos run in circles, find a way to fit in tiny box. Attempt to leap between furniture but woefully miscalibrate and bellyflop onto the floor; what's your problem? i meant to do that now i shall wash myself intently refuse to come home when humans are going to bed; stay out all night then yowl like i am dying at 4am for the fat cat sat on the mat bat away with paws wake up human for food at 4am.</p>
