p, td, th, div, blockquote, ul, li, dl, ol { font-size: 1em;
p, td, th, blockquote { margin: 0.5em 0;} /* controls spacing
between elements */
.clearfloat { /* this class should be placed on a div or
break element
and should be the final element before the close of a
container that
should fully contain a float */
