Normalize Table of Contents The Porsche Design System provides recommended normalize styles that include CSS reset styles and base typography definitions. Setup When you import the main package CSS file, the normalize styles are already included:
/* Replace {js|angular|react|vue} with your framework, e.g. components-react */ @import '@porsche-design-system/components-{js|angular|react|vue}';
If you only need the normalize styles without any other styles, you can import them separately:
@import '@porsche-design-system/components-{js|angular|react|vue}/normalize.css';
Below is the content of the stylesheet file for reference only. Don't copy this into your project — use the import statement above instead:
/* @porsche-design-system/components-{js|angular|react|vue}/normalize.css */

Global settingsColor SchemeAll color tokens use the light-dark() CSS function. Set the theme via the CSS color-scheme property: light for light mode, dark for dark mode, or light dark to follow the user's system preference.LightDarkLight DarkDirectionThe dir global attribute in HTML changes the direction of text and other content within an element. It's most often used on the <html> tag to set the entire page's direction, which is crucial for supporting languages that are written from right to left (RTL), such as Arabic and Hebrew. For example, using <html dir="rtl"> makes the entire page display from right to left, adjusting the layout and text flow accordingly.LTR (left-to-right)RTL (right-to-left)Text ZoomTo ensure accessibility and comply with WCAG 2.2 AA standards, it is mandatory for web content to support text resizing up to at least 200% without loss of content or functionality. Using relative units like rem is a best practice for achieving this, as they allow the text to scale uniformly based on the user's browser settings.100%130%150%200%
