Yes, but it is the default styling for Bootstrap 2. The CSS rules for frameworks like Bootstrap are not based on HTML elements alone. Rather, the framework itself prescribes both a particular HTML structure and a set of specific CSS classes. Therefore, when switching from one framework to another (including from one major version of Bootstrap to another), it is not simply a matter of swapping out the CSS rules -- you also have to change all the HTML markup and CSS class names so they are consistent with the requirements of the new framework. If you stick Bootstrap 3 CSS rules in an app whose markup is written for Bootstrap 2, it's not going to work. Whether or not you have stuck to the default styling in the original Bootstrap 2 markup is irrelevant. > It seems like it might be easier to start a new app and just move the > controllers/views/models over from the old app and go from there. > Yes, that was my point. You are migrating to a new front-end framework, which has its own unique requirements for markup and class names.
