[thelist] Issue with formatting paragraph

[ben morrison]

this is due to the cascade of Cascading Style Sheets - CSS.

you have the following on 1st para:

.small, .summary    (line 343)
{
    font-size: 95%;
}

on the 2nd para you have:

.small, .summary    (line 343)
{
    font-size: 95%;
}

#content p, #content li    (line 235)
{
    font-size: 0.9em;
}

You can generally use the !important rule to override cascade settings.

.small, .summary    (line 343)
{
    font-size: 95%!important;
}

Im not sure why you are mixing % and em inside your stylesheet - apart
form the body?

Owen briggs did a VERY comprehensive test on font-sizes:
