Disable (exclude) bootstrap for one div on a page

Question

I have an application that pulls custom old emails and displays them on a page in DOM. I want to exclude a div that contains this HTML email from bootstrap css. Something like this:

<div class="email_container">
<!-- bootstrap CSS shouldn't apply here-->
<div class="email">
<!-- neither here-->
</div>
</div>

Is there a way this can be done? I did some research and saw people talking about LESS and SASS to solve this but is there a way to do this without them as I don't want to include LESS or SASS in my project just for this purpose.

Answer 1

I think you should use this class for reseting all the CSS under email_container. In the CSS it says .reset-this * so for the elements under .reset_this will get reseted, then you can add what you want.

This was not created by me, it was taken from the link resetting CSS

<div class="email_container reset-this">
<!-- bootstrap CSS shouldn't apply here
<div class="email">
<!-- neither here-->
</div>
</div>
