# CSS Reset

# Bootstrapping

ress is a modern CSS reset that applies a solid base for stylesheets. It is built on top of normalize.css and adds new features such as specifying font-family: monospace for <code> elements, removing all outlines from elements when hovering, and much much more. Additional information can be found on the ress GitHub repository.

These styles are automatically imported within src/styles/generic/_reset.scss and bootstrapped as Generic styles within src/styles/generic/_index.scss:

// styles/generic/_index.scss

// Generic styling for bare HTML elements (like H1, A, etc.).
// These come with default styling from the browser so that
// we can redefine them here.
@import './reset.scss';

@import './animations.scss';

@import './colors.scss';

@import './elevation.scss';

@import './transitions.scss';
