# The Monospace Web
Monospace fonts are dear to many of us. Some find them more readable, consistent, and beautiful, than their proportional alternatives. Maybe we’re just brainwashed from spending years in terminals? Or are we hopelessly nostalgic? I’m not sure. But I like them, and that’s why I started experimenting with all-monospace Web.

<h2 id="introduction">Introduction</h2>
<p>Monospace fonts are dear to many of us. Some find them more readable,
consistent, and beautiful, than their proportional alternatives. Maybe
we’re just brainwashed from spending years in terminals? Or are we
hopelessly nostalgic? I’m not sure. But I like them, and that’s why I
started experimenting with all-monospace Web.</p>
<p>On this page, I use a monospace grid to align text and draw diagrams.
It’s generated from a simple Markdown document (using Pandoc), and the
CSS and a tiny bit of Javascript renders it on the grid. The page is
responsive, shrinking in character-sized steps. Standard elements should
<em>just work</em>, at least that’s the goal. It’s semantic HTML,
rendered as if we were back in the 70s.</p>
<p>All right, but is this even a good idea? It’s a technical and
creative challenge and I like the aestethic. If you’d like to use it,
feel free to fork or copy the bits you need, respecting the license. I
might update it over time with improvements and support for more
standard elements.</p>
<h2 id="the-basics">The Basics</h2>
<p>This document uses a few extra classes here and there, but mostly
it’s just markup. This, for instance, is a regular paragraph.</p>
<p>Look at this horizontal break:</p>
<hr>
<p>Lovely. We can hide stuff in the <code>&lt;details</code>&gt;
element:</p>
<details>
<summary>
A short summary of the contents
</summary>
<p>
Hidden gems.
</p>
</details>
<h2 id="lists">Lists</h2>
<p>This is a plain old bulleted list:</p>
<ul class="incremental">
<li>Banana</li>
<li>Paper boat</li>
<li>Cucumber</li>
<li>Rocket</li>
</ul>
<p>Ordered lists look pretty much as you’d expect:</p>
<ol class="incremental" type="1">
<li>Goals</li>
<li>Motivations
<ol class="incremental" type="1">
<li>Intrinsic</li>
<li>Extrinsic</li>
</ol></li>
<li>Second-order effects</li>
</ol>
<p>It’s nice to visualize trees. This is a regular unordered list with a
<code>tree</code> class:</p>
<ul class="tree">
<li>
<p style="margin: 0;">
<strong>/dev/nvme0n1p2</strong>
</p>
<ul class="incremental">
<li>usr
<ul class="incremental">
<li>local<br />
</li>
<li>share<br />
</li>
<li>libexec<br />
</li>
<li>include<br />
</li>
<li>sbin<br />
</li>
<li>src<br />
</li>
<li>lib64<br />
</li>
<li>lib<br />
</li>
<li>bin<br />
</li>
<li>games
<ul class="incremental">
<li>solitaire</li>
<li>snake</li>
<li>tic-tac-toe</li>
</ul></li>
<li>media<br />
</li>
</ul></li>
<li>media<br />
</li>
<li>run<br />
</li>
<li>tmp</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="tables">Tables</h2>
<p>We can use regular tables that automatically adjust to the monospace
grid. They’re responsive.</p>
<table>

<p>Note that only one column is allowed to grow.</p>
<h2 id="forms">Forms</h2>
<p>Here are some buttons:</p>
<nav>
<button>
Reset

<button>

</nav>
<p>And inputs:</p>
<form class="grid">

<input type="text" placeholder="Placeholder..." /></label> <label>Last
name <input type="text" placeholder="Text goes here..." /></label>
<label>Age <input type="text" value="30" /></label>

<p>And radio buttons:</p>
<form class="grid">

<label><input name="radio" type="radio" /> Option #2</label>
<label><input name="radio" type="radio" /> Option #3</label>
</form>
<h2 id="grids">Grids</h2>
<p>Add the <code>grid</code> class to a container to divide up the
horizontal space evenly for the cells. Note that it maintains the
monospace, so the total width might not be 100%. Here are six grids with
increasing cell count:</p>
<div class="grid">
<input readonly value="1" />
</div>
<div class="grid">
<input readonly value="1" /><input readonly value="2" />
</div>
<div class="grid">
<input readonly value="1" /><input readonly value="2" /><input readonly value="3" />
</div>
<div class="grid">
<input readonly value="1" /><input readonly value="2" /><input readonly value="3" /><input readonly value="4" />
</div>
<div class="grid">
<input readonly value="1" /><input readonly value="2" /><input readonly value="3" /><input readonly value="4" /><input readonly value="5" />
</div>
<div class="grid">
<input readonly value="1" /><input readonly value="2" /><input readonly value="3" /><input readonly value="4" /><input readonly value="5" /><input readonly value="6" />
</div>
<p>If we want one cell to fill the remainder, we set
<code>flex-grow: 1;</code> for that particular cell.</p>
<div class="grid">
<input readonly value="1" /><input readonly value="2" /><input readonly value="3!" style="flex-grow: 1;" /><input readonly value="4" /><input readonly value="5" /><input readonly value="6" />
</div>
<h2 id="ascii-drawings">ASCII Drawings</h2>
<p>We can draw in <code>&lt;pre&gt;</code> tags using <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box-drawing_characters">box-drawing
characters</a>:</p>
<pre><code>╭─────────────────╮
│ MONOSPACE ROCKS │
╰─────────────────╯</code></pre>
<p>To have it stand out a bit more, we can wrap it in a
<code>&lt;figure&gt;</code> tag, and why not also add a
<code>&lt;figcaption&gt;</code>.</p>

chops and having a lot of fun with the design. If you like it or even
decide to use it, please <a href="https://x.com/owickstrom">let me

This is a simple Pandoc based Static Site Generator
based on the Monospace Web project by Oskar Wickström.
1. Install pandoc
2. Drop Markdown files in the src directory
3. Execute the convert.sh script
4. Deploy the build directory to your static site host
Given that the site generator consits of a single bash script,
single html template and a css file, it's easy to customize.
All changes to the original project are unlicensed (C0).
The Monospace Web is licensed under the MIT license.

## Introduction
Monospace fonts are dear to many of us.
Some find them more readable, consistent, and beautiful, than their proportional alternatives.
Maybe we're just brainwashed from spending years in terminals?
Or are we hopelessly nostalgic?
I'm not sure.
But I like them, and that's why I started experimenting with all-monospace Web.
<br>
On this page, I use a monospace grid to align text and draw diagrams.
It's generated from a simple Markdown document (using Pandoc), and the CSS and a tiny bit of Javascript renders it on the grid.
The page is responsive, shrinking in character-sized steps.
Standard elements should _just work_, at least that's the goal.
It's semantic HTML, rendered as if we were back in the 70s.
# Pandoc Monospace Web
All right, but is this even a good idea?
It's a technical and creative challenge and I like the aestethic.
If you'd like to use it, feel free to fork or copy the bits you need, respecting the license.
I might update it over time with improvements and support for more standard elements.
This is a simple Pandoc based Static Site Generator
based on the Monospace Web project by Oskar Wickström.
## The Basics
1. Install pandoc
2. Drop Markdown files in the src directory
3. Execute the convert.sh script
4. Deploy the build directory to your static site host
This document uses a few extra classes here and there, but mostly it's just markup.
This, for instance, is a regular paragraph.
Given that the site generator consits of a single bash script,
single html template and a css file, it's easy to customize.
Look at this horizontal break:
All changes to the original project are unlicensed (C0).

This is a demo page showcasing all the available styles for the Pandoc Monospace Web.
All standard Pandoc markdown features are supported [^1].

## Lists
This is a plain old bulleted list:
Unordered list:
* Banana
* Paper boat
* Cucumber
* Rocket
* Item one
* Item two
* Item three
* Nested item
* Another nested item
Ordered lists look pretty much as you'd expect:
Ordered list:
1. Goals
1. Motivations
1. Intrinsic
1. Extrinsic
1. Second-order effects
1. First item
2. Second item
1. Nested numbered
2. Another nested
3. Third item
It's nice to visualize trees.

## Product Cards
![A room in an old French castle (2024)](castle.jpg)
Product cards are useful for displaying items with images, descriptions, and actions:

## Media with Captions
Media objects are supported, like images and video with captions:
![A sample image with caption (2024)](./files/img/castle.jpg)
They extend to the width of the page, and add appropriate padding in the bottom to maintain the monospace grid.
## Discussion

That's it for now.
I've very much enjoyed making this, pushing my CSS chops and having a lot of fun with the design.

### Theme-Aware Images
Finally, a massive shout-out to [U.S. Graphics Company](https://x.com/usgraphics) for all the inspiration.
Images can adapt to light and dark themes (convert theme using lightbulb icon in the footer or system settings):
<div class="grid">
<img height="150px" class="theme-aware-image" src="./files/img/Nicaragua1_1913.jpg" alt="This image inverts in dark mode">
<img height="150px" class="theme-aware-image no-invert" src="./files/img/Nicaragua1_1913.jpg" alt="This image stays the same in both modes">
<img height="150px" class="theme-aware-image adjust-contrast" src="./files/img/Nicaragua1_1913.jpg" alt="This image adjusts contrast in dark mode">
</div>
