Unexpected CSS img styling about typography.js HOT 8 OPEN

Is there any documentation on what typography.css styles apart from text elements? I've just checked and it seems to reset lots of element's margin/padding to 0 except for margin-bottom which is set to 1.45rem. Elements like form, address and so are styled. What's the reasoning for this? It seems arbitrary and breaks my layout.

I did not expect img styling at all, and I had to search for a while before I found where the margin-bottom was coming from (suspected font awesome CSS, or normalize, but not typography).

This issue is coming up on Google so I wanted to post the solution:

When you intialize the Typography.js object you can provide overrideStyles

new Typography({
  overrideStyles: ({ rhythm }) => ({
    img: {
        marginBottom: 0
      }
  })
})

Is there a way to turn off this margin and max-width: 100% in the config?

I could only see setting this globally for all images in blogs. On other sites it interferes when trying to use image as style elements.

img {
  max-width: none !important;
  margin-bottom: 0 !important;
}

But I think this could lead to flakey behavior.

Well !important isn't necessary if TypographyStyle is declared before other styles. I swear before the typography style was overriding my webpack loaded styles. But able to reproduce now.

I'm dealing with the same problem where I wanted consistent text styling but it made my images super small with a bunch of padding in the process. Is there any clean way to disable the way it overrides image css while still getting consistent text formatting benefits?

The documentation doesn't mention this though, so how are we supposed to figure this out? @KyleAMathews

I'll hook on this post and refer to the solution of @aamistak. As I understand, Typography defines some default rules for tables. One is: td {text-align: left}. In Markdown we can specify cell alignments with colons (:). |---:| means right align. The Markdown-Plugin generates something like this <td align="right">100</td>.

This won't work due to Typographies inline style td {text-align: left}. Overriding won't help either. I should completely remove this style rule.

Is there a way I can do that? I would need something like this (pseudo code)

new Typography({
  overrideStyles: ({ rhythm }) => ({
    td: {
        textAlign: false|null // something to remove the complete rule.
      }
  })
})

Found this issue and a workaround. #244 (comment)

It's exactly I was talking about. This will result in a feature request to allow removing rules.
