82 | 91 | <P>In most cases, elements inherit actual values. However, there are |
83 | 92 | some properties whose specified or computed values may be inherited |
84 | | -(e.g., the number value for the <span |
| 93 | +(e.g., the <span class="propinst-font-size">'font-size'</span> |
| 94 | +property and the number value for the <span |
85 | 95 | class="propinst-line-height">'line-height'</span> property). The |
86 | 96 | definition of a property whose actual value is not what other elements |
87 | 97 | inherit will clearly say so. |
