<p>-values within a table (not overridden by standard p)?

[patrik]

Can you set the values for <p> within a table in general, without the values being overridden by the standard <p> settings?


What I want:

css:
p { text-indent:3em; }
.tablep { text-indent:0em; }

html:
...
<td> <p class="tablep">bla bla</p></td>
...

But without having to set the class in the table-p.
(i.e.: <td> <p>bla bla</p></td>)


For values not in css-p, this works
td { something: value; }

But if it is in css-p, the value is ignored. Standard p-values seem to override.

Since the book has many tables I would like to skip adding the class everwhere if it's possible to set something that is enforced for all tables (they are all the same).


I have tried so many things and searched for hours... Hopefully I'm missing something obvious and you can help me out.

table p {...}

Read up on CSS selectors.

Yes, thanks! That worked. :-)

I could have sworn I did that, I must have tried 10+ variations from all sort of examples I have found during my searches.

Also thanks for the resource, will study it.

Study... I read and study a lot, but for book-making and/or epub, I find that there is surprisingly few books. I think I have bought 4-5 books that I have seen recommended and they are all pretty limited.

Is there a good list of resources somewhere?

This isn't ebook specific - it's generic HTML/CSS. Lots of resources available for that.
