                Some properties in CSS are inherited to children elements
                as you can see here.  The &lt;h1&gt; heading and the
                &lt;p&gt; element inherit color and alignment from the
                &lt;div&gt;, but not the border and the padding.
            </p>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>
