Welcome to the Logic CSS framework !

The first public release

Hello ! The first public release (aka The Seeder) will be ready sooner than later. Please check back soon or better join our group/mailing list.

Introduction

The Logic CSS framework is a collection of CSS files and PHP utilities to cut development times for web-standards compliant xHTML layouts.

Features

• Common cross-browser rendering behavior (not a real reset ala Meyer or like * {margin:0;padding:0;} ).
• Typography with text resizing support (using EMs) and vertical baseline/rhythm. See a working in progress template.
• Totally customizable flexible layout grids with css code generation tool (PREVIEW).
• Elastic with ems (best!)
• Liquid with percentages
• Fixed size using pixels

Planned features

• Easy to use, beautiful web palettes.
• Design patterns implementations (like breadcumbs).
• Microformats styling.
• Many others...
• If you partecipate in the development you can decide !

What's in the box

The main contents of the logicss/ directory are:

• common.css which sets common values for styles since our objective is to have consistent rendering thru common browsers.
• typography/*.css these apply typography styles to content.
• font/*.css defines or mixes font families for page elements.
• grid/*.css gives you the ability to use grids to layout your design.
• other directories are actually to be considered EXPERIMENTAL.

The utilities in tools/

For now, only the Grid Builder preview is available but there's also a semantic-aid tool in the works.

Credits

Please consider this framework more like a library or collection of tips and techniques originally found on the internet and put together by the author/implementor. I will try to remember where I've taken those ideas from and list them here but if you see something you originally did, well, let us know it ! We'll give credit were due.
