Welcome to Paper

Here you will find information on how to use Paper for styling websites as if they were printed books.

Getting started

Paper is a Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) used to restyle basic html to resemble printed books. It based on very light sass in order to enable color variations. You can download or clone the repository, compile your version of the css and plug it into your page. Compilation of sass is available online without any additional executables (see, for example, http://beautifytools.com/scss-compiler.php).

If you prefer to use pre-compiled versions (those you see on the example website) you can download them from the release section (https://github.com/cibboy/Paper/releases).

Paper is fully static, meaning that rich components are not included. Dynamic behavior through javascript or other languages is not included, as this is a simple CSS style to apply to your website. See Basic concepts to get an idea of how to structure your website.

Paper provides basic responsiveness to adapt content to several screen sizes.

The fonts included are released under the Open Font License.

General styling

Paper provides a very limited set of styling classes (see Basic concepts - Specialization), used as helpers.

Styled components

Paper is not as component-rich as other frameworks. Paper provides styling of basic html tags to provide a consistent, easily readable way of presenting written content.
