HTML5 reset

HTML5 Reset is a set of files you can use as a template to start a new project. The HTML file contains a rudimentary HTML5 document structure, with all the every day stuff like title, header, footer, etc. It also uses conditional comments to call about half a dozen IE-specific CSS files, as well as a couple popular IE-correcting javascript files. You can choose from two versions, the “full version” and one that has just the basic features. Both versions are downloadable here.
