zeitgeist.css is a crowdsourced, extendable basic CSS file that imparts a design based on current design aesthetics to any simple HTML file, such as those produced by compiling markdown.
zeitgeist.css has the following goals:
zeitgeist.css contains basic CSS normalization and best practices from HTML5 Boilerplate. Responsive design rules for desktop, tablets, and mobile phones are included, a set of styles for printing, and styles for projectors as well.
Any page that links to the current version of zeitgeist.css will have a design that changes as zeitgeist.css changes. These changes are based on contributions and community decisions regarding the current state of web aesthetics, technology, and platform support.
Alternatively, a page can use a zeitgeist.css revision for any point in time in order to present a design reminiscent of that time period. The repository is tagged at the end of every month in order to facilitate linking to a revision from a specific point in time.
Use zeitgeist.css on your page by adding the following to the <head> section of your HTML:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://zeitgeist.rnf.me/zeitgeist.min.css" />For more information, including how to link to older revisions, please see the README.
