CSS all Property

The all is a CSS property which sets all the properties to their initial and inherit value. See examples.

The all property resets all the properties of the selected element apart from unicode-bidi and direction, which control text direction.

This property is considered a reset shorthand. Unlike multi-value shorthands like margin or background, it does not have a longhand version or sub-properties.
