The CSS Descendant Selector

How do we specify an descendant selector?

As Html elements are based on a tree structure where elements can have sub-elements, etc., we can also specify a descendant element within another element as a selector. This is called a descendant selector.
```
div p {color:red; font-size:12px; line-height:15px;}
```
Only p elements inside a DIV element will be affected by this rule.

The p element need not to be a direct child of the div element, but for instance a child of the blockquote element which is a child of the div element.

Example of a descendant selector:

<html>
  <head>
    <style type="text/css">
      p {color:red;}
      div p { font-size:16pt; color:blue;}
      p em {color:green}
      /* the last will write all em elements inside a paragraph to be green*/
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>This paragraph is written in a red color</p>
    <p>Using <span>the <em>em element</em>  in the p elements</span> causes the text
      within the em element in this case printed <em>with green color</em> </p>
    <div>
      Text inside the div tag follow all preset defaults.
      <p>paragraph inside div element is blue and 16 pt.</p>
     <blockquote>
      <p>Using the <em>em element</em>  in the p elements causes the text
        within the em element in this case printed <em>with green color</em> </p>
     </blockquote>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>
