I recently started using BEM for writing reusable CSS components. In the BEM documentation and other websites I found that global resets on tag elements are not encouraged for obvious reasons.
However when I look at source code of BEM based websites including the BEM documentation websites, I usually see p tags classless, meaning they do use resets or nested selectors to give them the proper font size or margin for instance.
Consequently, I am confused about what approach to follow now. In my reckoning, creating a paragraph class and attaching it to p tags would be the correct approach in this case. Further positioning could be resolved by implementing additional layout components to set the desired margins?
Any advice? Thanks in advance?
My understanding is that a css reset is not required because essentially every block or element has a class on with a specificity set to 010. Therefore this overrides any css including the browsers own css file that only has a specificity set to 001 on the element.
