A More Effective CSS Image Reset

image-reset.css

/**
 * This CSS block is a More Effective CSS Image Reset. 
 * It resets the default styles of an image element
 * and adds some additional styles to improve its rendering. 
 * 
 * The `max-width: 100%;` ensures that the image does not exceed its container's width, 
 * while maintaining its aspect ratio with `height: auto;`. 
 * 
 * The `vertical-align: middle;` aligns the image vertically with the text. 
 * 
 * The `font-style: italic;` adds a slight italic effect to the image alt text.
 * 
 * The `background-repeat: no-repeat;` ensures that the image does not repeat itself. 
 * 
 * The `background-size: cover;` ensures that the image fills its container without repeating. 
 * 
 * Finally, the `shape-margin: 1rem;` adds some margin around the image to improve its spacing with other elements.

may be it also necessary to add font-size: 0.75rem e.i. to avoid inhereting from parent
