Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 19,338 PointsWhat does the font-size default to if you don't declare it in the stylesheet?
In this specific video, Anwar selected the 'html' in the stylesheet and set the font-size to 1.25em. So at this point, anything referenced with the 'rem' unit value would be relative to the original 1.25em. I am just curious as to what the default value is/ what would happen if the 1.25em value isn't declared for the html tag. Thanks!
