# Building a CSS Foundation with YUI Reset

## Test page with YUI Reset applied

# YUI Reset removes and normalizes the presentation of HTML elements. The process creates a level playing field upon which to author CSS.

## Basic block level elements

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat. Ut wisi enim zzril delenit Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat. Ut wisi enim zzril delenit Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat.

This is a `div` element. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat. (End of `div`.)

> This is a block quotation containing a single paragraph. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat.

The following contains address information about the author, in an `address` element.

## Lists

This is a paragraph before an unnumbered list (`ul`). Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat.

- One.
- Two.
- Three. Well, probably this list item should be longer. Note that for short items lists look better if they are compactly presented, whereas for long items, it would be better to have more vertical spacing between items.
- Four. This is the last item in this list. Let us terminate the list now without making any more fuss about it.

This is a paragraph before a numbered list (`ol`). Note that the spacing between a paragraph and a list before or after that is hard to tune in a user style sheet. You can't guess which paragraphs are logically related to a list, e.g. as a "list header".

1. One.
2. Two.
3. Three. Well, probably this list item should be longer. Note that if items are short, lists look better if they are compactly presented, whereas for long items, it would be better to have more vertical spacing between items.
4. Four. This is the last item in this list. Let us terminate the list now without making any more fuss about it.
5. Five
6. Six
7. Seven
8. Eight
9. Nine
10. Ten

This is a paragraph before a definition list (`dl`). In principle, such a list should consist of terms and associated definitions. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat.

Apple
  is a fruit.
Banana
  Is also a fruit.
Tomato
  Is debatable. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat.

## Text-level markup

- CSS (an abbreviation; `abbr` markup used)
- radar (an acronym; `acronym` markup used)
- Origin of Species (a book title; `cite` markup used)
- `a[i] = b[i] + c[i);` (computer code; `code` markup used)
- an octet is an entity consisting of eight bits (`dfn` markup used for the term being defined)
- this is very simple (`em` markup used for emphasizing a word)
- type `yes` when prompted for an answer (`kbd` markup used for text indicating keyboard input)
- Hello! (`q` markup used for quotation)
- He said: She said Hello! (a quotation inside a quotation)
- you may get the message `Core dumped` at times (`samp` markup used for sample output)
- this is highlighted text (`strong` markup used)
- `text in monospace font` (`tt` markup used)
- the command `cat` filename displays the file specified by the filename (`var` markup used to indicate a word as a variable).
- In order to test how subscripts and superscripts (`sub` and `sup` markup) work inside running text, we need some dummy text around constructs like x1 and H2O (where subscripts occur). So here is some fill so that you will (hopefully) see whether and how badly the subscripts and superscripts mess up vertical spacing between lines. Now superscripts: Mlle, 1st, and then some mathematical notations: ex, sin2 x, and some nested superscripts (exponents) too: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat. Ut wisi enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exerci tation ullamcorper suscipit lobortis nisl ut aliquip ex ea euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat.

Some of the elements tested above are typically displayed in a monospace font, often using the same presentation for all of them. This tests whether that is the case on your browser:

- `This is sample text inside code markup`
- `This is sample text inside kbd markup`
- `This is sample text inside samp markup`
- `This is sample text inside tt markup`
