This plugin enables HTML5 support for elements like the search form and adds (what I consider to be) some essential CSS – for example, to make all the images responsive when using the Oxygen visual site builder.

There are no settings for the plugin. Just install and activate.

Details:

1. Enables HTML5 support for comment list, comment form, search form, gallery and caption elements.
2. Adds some CSS from Modern CSS Reset for
   • setting a min-height of 100vh for the body element.
   • removing default padding, default margin and list styles on ul and ol elements that have a class set.
   • inheriting font rules for inputs and buttons.
   • removing all animations and transitions for people that prefer not to see them via prefers-reduced-motion.
3. Adds CSS for
   • making all images responsive and setting their vertical-align to top so they don’t take up an extra pixel space at the bottom.
   • WordPress image alignment classes. This is useful for wrapping text around images in Oxygen.
   • making the admin bar sub menu items visible when using fixed header in Oxygen.
   • making label elements visible which Oxygen, for some strange reason, seems to set the display of to none.
   • handling screen reader text for form labels when HTML5 output is enabled (which this plugin does).
   • aligning search form’s input and button side-by-side and changing header search form’s input width to auto from 100%.
