 <span class="project-name">Cleanslate</span> is an extreme CSS reset stylesheet. It is used to reset the styling of an HTML element and all its children, back to default CSS values. It is composed exclusively of [!important](http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/cascade.html#important-rules) rules, which override all other types of rules.
It does not require any JavaScript – it’s just a CSS stylesheet. However, you may find it useful when used within JavaScript widgets, such as those created by [Sqwidget](https://github.com/premasagar/sqwidget).
