Tailwindcss: Disabling normalize.css?

[mattkoch614]

This may be a dumb question, but is there any way to disable some (or all?) of the normalize.css defaults we get with tailwind via configuration?

I ask this because on a legacy project with super heavy use of old school inline styling, table formatting, and floats galore, dropping in tailwind causes some issues right out of the gate. One culprit seems to be the box-sizing property on the html element and before/after pseudo classes, but I'm sure there are others.

I was hoping to make a quick config file with some colors and fonts to match our branding, and start folding in the CSS piece by piece.

The project I'm working on here probably won't be completely redesigned, so it would be nice to have the power of something like tailwind peppered in.

If this isn't possible, please feel free to close this issue. That being said, I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Hey @mattkoch614, totally possible, just don't include @tailwind preflight in your CSS file 👍

Oh man, I knew it was a dumb question. Thanks @adamwathan!

After 1.0 it looks like this can be accomplished by removing @tailwind base instead. Am I missing anything important by removing that line?

@SeanRoberts that's correct 👍

@SeanRoberts not missing anything super important, but here's the docs page explaining what's there:
