Lime Reset

Provides tags that include "reset" styles similar to Yelp's lemon-reset library for React.

For an explanation of why Yelp originally moved away from relying on page-global css resets and the benefits of including the resets opaquely within tags, I recommend reading this blog post from their engineering team.

Effectively these tags have styling as if this stylesheet was applied to them.

These tags use elm-css for their implementation. This is necessary because the stylesheet that is being replicated makes use of the :before and :after css pseudo-selectors in order to style the blockquote and q tags. As far as I am aware it is impossible to use pseudo-selectors with inline css, so making an inline stylesheet with (as is done by elm-css) is the only way to make these tags in a redistributable way. As a consequence, these tags do not produce the Html msg from elm/html but instead make the Html msg from rtfieldman/elm-css.
