I ended up with the following style which solved my problem:
.tiny p { font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:
x-small; }
With this I can simply maintain my use of the "tiny" class and any P
tags within the use of that class will respect the same style. No
additional div tags were necesary.
Thank you very much; your advice was very helpful. It was your tip that
I could define the style of an html element within a class that lead me
to this solution.
