# sanitize.css [<img src="https://csstools.github.io/sanitize.css/logo.svg" alt="sanitize" width="90" height="90" align="right">][sanitize.css]

[sanitize.css] is a CSS library that provides consistent, cross-browser
default styling of HTML elements alongside useful defaults.

**sanitize.css** is developed alongside [normalize.css], which means every
normalization is included, and every normalization and opinion are clearly
marked and documented.

**sanitize.css** wraps styles in zero-specificity selectors using `:where()`.
