| 35 | +[Normalize.css v1 provides legacy browser |
| 36 | +support](https://github.com/necolas/normalize.css/tree/v1) (IE 6+, Safari 4+), |
| 37 | +but is no longer actively developed. |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +## Extended details |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +Additional detail and explanation of the esoteric parts of normalize.css. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +#### `pre, code, kbd, samp` |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +The `font-family: monospace, monospace` hack fixes the inheritance and scaling |
| 46 | +of font-size for preformated text. The duplication of `monospace` is |
| 47 | +intentional. [Source](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Davidgothberg/Test59). |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +#### `sub, sup` |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +Normally, using `sub` or `sup` affects the line-box height of text in all |
| 52 | +browsers. [Source](http://gist.github.com/413930). |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +#### `svg:not(:root)` |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +Adding `overflow: hidden` fixes IE9's SVG rendering. Earlier versions of IE |
| 57 | +don't support SVG, so we can safely use the `:not()` and `:root` selectors that |
| 58 | +modern browsers use in the default UA stylesheets to apply this style. [SVG |
| 59 | +Mailing List discussion](http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-svg-wg/2008JulSep/0339.html) |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +#### `input[type="search"]` |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +The search input is not fully stylable by default. In Chrome and Safari on |
| 64 | +OSX/iOS you can't control `font`, `padding`, `border`, or `background`. In |
| 65 | +Chrome and Safari on Windows you can't control `border` properly. It will apply |
| 66 | +`border-width` but will only show a border color (which cannot be controlled) |
| 67 | +for the outer 1px of that border. Applying `-webkit-appearance: textfield` |
| 68 | +addresses these issues without removing the benefits of search inputs (e.g. |
| 69 | +showing past searches). |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +#### `legend` |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +Adding `border: 0` corrects an IE 8–11 bug where `color` (yes, `color`) is not |
| 74 | +inherited by `legend`. |
| 75 | + |
