0:00:00.700,0:00:02.137
Now that you've seen a bunch of

0:00:02.137,0:00:03.551
properties, I want to point out something that

0:00:03.551,0:00:04.981
you might have already figured out yourself

0:00:04.981,0:00:07.435
already. A concept called inheritance;

0:00:07.435,0:00:09.870
some CSS properties are inherited, which

0:00:09.870,0:00:11.163
means they get passed down to all the

0:00:11.163,0:00:12.973
children tags underneath them. For

0:00:12.973,0:00:15.960
example, the font family is an inherited

0:00:15.960,0:00:18.792
property. Just by setting it on the body

0:00:18.792,0:00:20.126
tag, we can see it get picked up

0:00:20.126,0:00:22.219
automatically by the children tags, like

0:00:22.219,0:00:24.275
the h1, and paragraphs. It only stops

0:00:24.275,0:00:27.325
taking effect once another rule steps in.

0:00:27.325,0:00:29.366
Like--this rule--changing the font family

0:00:29.366,0:00:32.289
of all the headings to cursive. Another

0:00:32.289,0:00:34.921
inherited property is color. If we set it

0:00:34.921,0:00:36.681
on body, we can see it trickle down to

0:00:36.681,0:00:39.105
all the tags inside body, until other

0:00:39.105,0:00:42.026
rules override it. Like--this rule here--

0:00:42.026,0:00:45.251
setting the h2's to green. Other

0:00:45.251,0:00:47.133
inherited properties that we've seen are

0:00:47.133,0:00:51.954
font weight, font size, font style, line

0:00:51.954,0:00:55.350
height, text align--actually, a lot of

0:00:55.350,0:00:57.179
the ones we've seen are inherited, because

0:00:57.179,0:00:58.781
they have to do with text styling--and

0:00:58.781,0:01:00.464
browsers figured that web designers would

0:01:00.464,0:01:02.720
want text styles to trickle down, so they

0:01:02.720,0:01:04.853
don't have to keep defining the styles at

0:01:04.853,0:01:07.741
each level. Going forward, though, most of

0:01:07.741,0:01:09.565
the new properties you see won't be

0:01:09.565,0:01:12.085
inherited. If you're not sure if a

0:01:12.085,0:01:14.346
property is inherited or not, either stick

0:01:14.346,0:01:16.381
it on the body tag, and see what happens,

0:01:16.381,0:01:18.705
or look up the property on the internet,

0:01:18.705,0:01:21.178
and read the documentation about it.
