Native Elements

Standard HTML5 elements with Vanilla Breeze styling. These are the building blocks of semantic HTML.

Vanilla Breeze styles native HTML elements directly via tag selectors in the native-elements CSS layer. There are no classes to memorize for the basics — a <button> looks like a button, a <table> gets sensible defaults, and form controls are ready to use out of the box.

When you need variants, VB uses short semantic classes scoped to the element: form.stacked, fieldset.minimal, table.striped. These read like plain English and stay close to the HTML they modify. If you know HTML, you already know VB's native API.

Every element page documents the base styles VB applies, the available classes and attributes, and accessibility considerations. Browse by category below or use the alphabetical index.
