What is Tripoli?

Tripoli is a generic CSS standard for HTML rendering. By resetting and rebuilding browser standards, Tripoli forms a stable, cross-browser rendering foundation for your web projects.

The ideas of Tripoli

• to form a generic standard for rendering HTML 4 tags
• to reset and rebuild all browser defaults for maximum compability
• to address deprecated tags in HTML 4 and disable them through CSS
• to separate content typography from layout meassurements, allowing simple implementation in dynamic design environments
• to increase readability and web typography
• to assist clients who have little knowledge about CSS to write HTML that actually looks great
• to increase form useability and visual appearance of form controls
• to make the HTML look great in several medias, including screens, mobile browsers and prints
• to embrace W3C's guidelines and well know typographic rules
• to allow external plugs that can extend generic defaults into more advanced themes

What is it made of?

• a complete sample HTML file as a basic reference
• a CSS reset file that actually resets all browser defaults
• a generic CSS file that rebuilds and upgrades HTML rendering
• cross-browser tested files and IE specific rules when needed
• a simple print CSS file that makes the HTML readable when printed

Why use it?

• Have full control over all CSS rules without disturbing browser defualts
• Improve readability and useability of your HTML content
• Separate content from layout by putting typographic measurements into a class
• Stop worrying about vertical rhythm and quotations - have a base styling that makes your HTML look great.
• It's lightweight - only 4k compressed.
