Hi guys,

Just by curiosity: in CSS is it better to use, for example:

Code:

* {
    margin: 0;
    text-indent: 0;
    padding: 0;
}

or put it in the the <body>:

Code:

body {
    margin: 0;
    text-indent: 0;
    padding: 0;
}

I mean, is it more in the semantic line or relevant/effective to use one instead of the other?

Incidentally what is the purpose of using, in an epub chapter, an empty <div>? A trick for some eReaders? You know, something like that:

Code:

<body>
<div>
  <h1>Title</h1>

  <p>blaba...</p>
</div>
</body>
