title: Scaffolding
---
Scaffolding refers to the global resets and dependencies that Primer is built upon.
## Contents
* Will be replaced with the ToC, excluding the "Contents" header
{:toc}
## HTML5 doctype
Primer makes use of certain HTML elements and CSS properties that **require** the use of the HTML5 doctype. Include it at the beginning of all your pages.
{% highlight html %}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
...
</html>
{% endhighlight %}
## Box-sizing
We reset `box-sizing` to `border-box` for every element in Primer. This allows us to more easily assign widths to elements that also have `padding` and `border`s.
## Built on Normalize
For improved cross-browser rendering, we use [Normalize.css](http://necolas.github.io/normalize.css/) to correct small inconsistencies across browsers and devices.
