Inheritance and em units in CSS
Now let's say we have deeper nesting:
<main>
<div>
<p>
text
</p>
</div>
</main>
Let the tag main have the following font size:
main {
font-size: 10px;
}
For the div tag, set the font size to em:
div {
font-size: 2em; /* corresponds to 20px */
}
We will also set the paragraph font size to em. In this case, it will calculate its size relative to the already calculated div font size:
p {
font-size: 2em; /* corresponds to 40px */
}
Practical tasks
Let's say we have HTML code for which we will solve problems:
<section>
<div>
<p>
text
</p>
</div>
</section>
Determine what font size in px the divs will have as a result of running the following code:
section {
font-size: 10px;
}
div {
font-size: 2em;
}
Determine what font size in px the paragraphs will be as a result of running the following code:
section {
font-size: 10px;
}
div {
font-size: 2em;
}
p {
font-size: 1.5em;
}
Determine what font size in px the paragraphs will be as a result of running the following code:
section {
font-size: 40px;
}
div {
font-size: 0.5em;
}
p {
font-size: 0.5em;
}
