How to use it

The main stylesheet is doodle.css:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="doodle.css">

Then add the class doodle to the top level element you want to apply the theme to:

<body class="doodle">...<body>

Load the Short Stack web font:

<style>
@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Short+Stack&display=swap');
body {
  font-family: 'Short Stack', cursive;
}
</style>

There's also an npm installable version:

npm install doodle.css

There are also a bunch of other vectors you can use in doodles.svg.

You can also put a doodle box around anything using the class .doodle .border or .doodle-border.

Thanks

This stylesheet is heavily inspired by the Hand Drawn Vector UI Kit by Tony Thomas. I wanted a CSS theme that looked just like that, so I drew a bunch of similar components and got them working on the web.

Other HTML Elements

h1 HTML5 Kitchen Sink

h2 Back in my quaint garden

h3 Jaunty zinnias vie with flaunting phlox

h4 Five or six big jet planes zoomed quickly by the new tower.

h5 Expect skilled signwriters to use many jazzy, quaint old alphabets effectively.

h6 Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs.

This paragraph is nested inside an article. It contains many different, sometimes useful, HTML5 tags. Of course there are classics like emphasis, strong, and small but there are many others as well. Hover the following text for abbreviation tag: abbr. Similarly, you can use acronym tag like this: ftw. You can define ~~deleted text~~ which often gets replaced with inserted text.

You can also use keyboard text, which sometimes is styled similarly to the <code> or samp tags. Even more specifically, there is a tag just for variables. Not to be mistaken with blockquotes below, the quote tag lets you denote something as quoted text. Lastly don't forget the sub (H₂O) and sup (E = MC²) tags.

Blockquote: I quickly explained that many big jobs involve few hazards

This is a mult-line blockquote with a cite reference. People think focus means saying yes to the thing you’ve got to focus on. But that’s not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I’m actually as proud of the things we haven’t done as the things I have done. Innovation is saying no to 1,000 things. Steve Jobs – Apple Worldwide Developers’ Conference, 1997

Definition List Title: Definition list division.
Kitchen Sink: Used in expressions to describe work in which all conceivable (and some inconceivable) sources have been mined. In this case, a bunch of markup.
