revert do in CSS?
And how is it different from unset or initial?
I’ve often used initial and unset in my CSS –
global keywords that can be applied to any property.
The difference is small, but important:
unset allows inheritance,
while initial does not.
But then Firefox implemented revert and I was confused –
how is this one different from the others?
It turns out revert is the one I wanted all along.
It rolls back styles to the expected browser default for each element,
rather than using the specification default for each property.
