Features
--------
Pure is meant to be a starting point for every website or web app. We take care
of all the CSS work that every site needs, without making it look cookie-cutter:
* A responsive grid that can be customized to your needs.
* A solid base built on [Normalize.css][] to fix cross-browser compatibility
issues.
* Consistently styled buttons that work with `<a>` and `<button>` elements.
* Styles for vertical and horizontal menus, including support for dropdown
menus.
* Useful form alignments that look great on all screen sizes.
* Various common table styles.
* An extremely minimalist look that is super-easy to customize.
* Responsive by default, with a non-responsive option.
* Easy one-click customization with the [Skin Builder][]
* Extremely small file size: **4.8KB minified + gzip**

Get Started
-----------
To get started using Pure, go to the [Pure CSS website][Pure]. The website has
extensive documentation and examples necessary to get you started using Pure.
You can include the Pure CSS file in your project by fetching it from Yahoo's
CDN:
```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://yui.yahooapis.com/pure/0.0.2/pure-min.css">
```
Build From Source
-----------------
Optionally, you can build Pure from its source on Github. To do this, you'll
need to have NodeJS and npm installed. We use Grunt to build Pure.
```shell
$ git clone git@github.com:yui/pure.git
$ cd pure
$ npm install
$ grunt
```
Now, all Pure CSS files should be built into the `pure/build/` directory. All
files that are in this build directory are also available on the CDN. The naming
conventions of the files in the `build/` directory follow these rules:
* `[module]-nr.css`: Rollup of `[module]-core.css` + `[module].css` +
`[module]-[feature].css` from the `src/[module]/` dir. This is the
non-responsive version of a module.
* `[module].css`: Rollup of `[module]-nr.css` + `[module]-r.css` from the
`build/` dir. This is the responsive version of a module.
* `*-min.css`: A minified file version of the files of the same name.
* `pure-min.css`: A rollup of all `[module]-min.css` files in the `build/` dir.
This is a responsive roll-up of everything.
* `pure-nr-min.css`: A Rollup of all modules without @media queries. This is a
non-responsive roll-up of everything.
### Building Specific Modules
You can build a specific module by passing in its name into Grunt:
```shell
$ grunt grids
```
