Contributing to CSS Remedy

We'd love to have you contribute to this project. You can get involved by creating or commenting on an issue.

This repository is governed by Mozilla's code of conduct and etiquette guidelines. For more details, please read the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines.

Pull Requests

We're also happy to take pull requests, both for fixing bugs/typos and submitting new remedies. For larger changes, it's often best to file an issue for discussion first.

Organization

The code is organized into:

  • A core remedy.css that we recommend using broadly across most projects.
  • A secondary reminders.css with more opinionated or potentially dangerous remedies that should be reviewed and considered on a case-by-case basis. All reminders are commented out by default.
  • Additional specialized remedy files (such as quotes.css) that can be used as-needed, but may not be useful generally.

The process folder contains related materials:

  • Other resets
  • UA stylesheets from various browsers
  • An html file to test against

Documentation

We're using code comments with Doxray to automatically generate our online documentation. Comments start with /* @docs, and use YAML structure, and Markdown for notes. It looks like this:

/* @docs
label: Name The Remedy (required)

note: |
  Indented markdown note can include
  any [links](http://mozilla.org/) and
  *other* `markdown` **syntax** (recommended).

  The vertical bar `|` at the start of the note block
  allows the note to span multiple lines.

links:
  - https://example.com/any-relevant-links-including-github-discussion/
  - https://example.com/links-are-recommended

todo: |
  Add a `markdown` block
  with todo items releated to this remedy.

  - You can add lists in the markdown,
    but this is not the same as the `links` YAML list...
  - (optional)

category: create groups (required)
*/

Every file should start with a file-level comment that describes the purpose and contents of that file:

/* @docs
label: Name The File (required)
version: 3.0.1-beta.1 (required)

note: |
  Describe the purpose & contents of the file (recommended).

category: file (!important)

Adding category: file marks it as a file-level comment. We also include a version number on every file, since CSS documents are likely to be coppied and pasted out-of-context.
