Normalize stylesheet with Twitter bootstrap

Question

I'm just starting a project which I'm using Twitters Bootstrap for and was wondering if it has its own reset rules.

Normally I plonk in a normalize stylesheet to help my sites look more consistent cross browser but is this required with Bootstrap?

Answer 1

Bootstrap already uses normalize.css. Take a look at the source (and the LESS file):

/*!
 * Bootstrap v2.2.2

 * http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0

  display: block;
}

Answer 2

Bootstrap v3 now makes this explicit and also includes the version number:

/*!
 * Bootstrap v3.0.3 (http://getbootstrap.com)
 * Copyright 2013 Twitter, Inc.
 * Licensed under http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0
 */

/*! normalize.css v2.1.3 | MIT License | git.io/normalize */

hgroup,
main,
nav,
section,
summary {
  display: block;
}

Note that normalize.css is now at v3.0.0-rc.1 so you may want to look at the CHANGELOG or diff and evaluate whether you'd like to use them on your site.
