How does inheritance work?
HTML documents are structured hierarchically. There is an ancestor, the top level element, the HTML element, from which all other elements (children) are descended. As in any other family also children of the HTML family can inherit their parents, e.g. color or size. By letting the children inherit their parents a default style can be created for top level elements and their children. (Note: not all properties can be inherited). The inheritance starts at the oldest ancestor and is passed on to its children and then their children and the children’s children and so on. Inherited style can be overridden by declaring specific style to child element. For example if the EM element is not to inherit its parent P then own style must be declared to it. For example: BODY {font-size: 10pt} All text will be displayed in a 10 point font BODY {font-size: 10pt} H1 {font-size: 14pt} or H1 {font-size: 180%} All text except for the level 1 headings will be displayed in a 10 point font. H1 will be displ
