Notes 12.5.8 Grouping Properties
CSS allows you to group declarations by separating them with semi-colons.
Example:
p
{
color:blue;
text-align:center;
}
You can group selectors too using commas rather than semi-colons.
Example:
h1,h2,p
{
color:green;
}
12.5.9 Inheritance of Properties
Using inheritance we can apply CSS rules to more than one tag.
For example, if you set <body> tags to the colour blue, then the tags included within a <body>…</
body> tag inherit that property and are also blue in color.
Another use of inheritance is within HTML tags that involve a parent-child relationship, such as
a list. Whether numbered (ordered, <ol>) or bulleted (unordered, <ul>), a list comprises any
number of list items, designated by <li> tags. Each list item is considered a child of the parent
tag, <ol> or <ul>.
Example:
ol {
color:red;
}
ul {
color:red;
}
