The default approach to styling content in jQuery Mobile is simple: Use a light hand. Our goal is to let the browser's native rendering take precedence; we add a bit of padding for more comfortable readability, and use the theming system to apply the font family and colors.
Taking a light hand with content styling gives designers and developers a clean slate to work with, instead of fighting against a lot of complex style overhead.
By default, jQuery Mobile themes use standard HTML styles and sizes for standard markup elements like headers, paragraph content, block quotes, anchor links, standard ordered, unordered and definition lists, and tables — as shown in the examples below:
This is a paragraph that contains strong, emphasized and linked text. Here is more text so you can see how HTML markup works in content. Here is more text so you can see how HTML markup works in content.
How about some blockquote action with a cite
This is another paragraph of text so you can see how HTML markup works in content. This is another paragraph of text so you can see how HTML markup works in content. This is another paragraph of text so you can see how HTML markup works in content.
We add a few styles to tables and fieldsets to make them more legible, which are easily overridden with customs styles.
