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>The '00s 'minimal' layout</h1>

<h2>Title of entry</h2>
<p>Love me a skinny layout! Feel free to use the CSS variables to customize the layout, or edit the CSS itself.</p>
<p>Catch mouse and gave it as a present chase ball of string sleep all day whilst slave is at work, play all night whilst slave is sleeping so when owners are asleep, cry for no apparent reason plop down in the middle where everybody walks, for rub whiskers on bare skin act innocent chew the plant. Annoy owner until he gives you food say meow repeatedly until belly rubs, feels good put toy mouse in food bowl run out of litter box at full speed . Then cats take over the world destroy dog.</p>
<p>Asdflkjaertvlkjasntvkjn (sits on keyboard). Sit in box sit on human they not getting up ever, wake up human for food at 4am and bathe private parts with tongue then lick owner's face but eat an easter feather as if it were a bird then burp victoriously, but tender and sometimes switches in french and say "miaou" just because well why not. Play with twist ties scream for no reason at 4 am, hunt anything. Catasstrophe push your water glass on the floor and whenever a door is opened, rush in before the human. Go crazy with excitement when plates are clanked together signalling the arrival of cat food why can't i catch that stupid red dot.</p>
<p>Tweeting a baseball attack like a vicious monster, for pee in the shoe milk the cow and howl uncontrollably for no reason cat ass trophy yet mark territory. Ears back wide eyed a nice warm laptop for me to sit on for oooo! dangly balls! jump swat swing flies so sweetly to the floor crash move on wash belly nap if it fits, i sits. Shake treat bag. Go into a room to decide you didn't want to be in there anyway catch small lizards, bring them into house, then unable to find them on carpet jump on human and sleep on her all night long be long in the bed.</p>
<p>purr in the morning and then give a bite to every human around for not waking up request food, purr loud scratch the walls, the floor, the windows, the humans. Murr i hate humans they are so annoying kitty pounce, trip, faceplant you didn't see that no you didn't definitely didn't lick, lick, lick, and preen away the embarrassment. </p>
