Hello everyone,

As a long-time Calibre user, I must say I am extremely satisfied with this program, which allows me to catalogue and manage all my eBooks. During the management phase, I appreciate being able to check and correct every error that the editor points out.

Regarding this, I have a question. Lately, I've been getting many warnings regarding CSS files, even for books that didn't show problems until recently. The error is reported as "no-descending-specificity".

Is it possible to disable this specific type of warning? The book renders without issues on my Kindle, and in fact, when I try to correct the CSS by moving the selectors as suggested by the editor, the book sometimes ends up having problems after the correction.

Thank you very much for the excellent work on Calibre.
