RE: Inheritance

Yep...in that case you can simply create a class and assign it to whatever
tag you wish...

.mine {color:white; background:blue;}

then use the <H6 class = mine>...you can also use the same class for other
tags, unless you qualify it as such:

H6.mine {color:white; background:blue;}

in the style.  The former makes the class available to all tags, the latter
restricts it to being used (when you want it) by the H6 tag.

Hope this helps...

I would like to keep the original H1, H2, etc. untouched.  If I do the
following...

H6 {color:white; background:blue;}

then won't all sections that are H6 have white text on blue background?  I
just want to use H? as a starting point.
