Bottom margins overridden in child theme

    I am developing a site using the child theme of Twenty Thirteen.

    Iwant to have bottom margins on my paragraph text in the posts but if I place a bottom margin it is being overridden by code from somewhere else.

    This is what I see if I check it out with Firebug

    element.style {
    line-height: 100%;
    margin-bottom: 0;
}
#content p, #content ul, #content ol, #content dd, #content pre, #content hr {
    margin-bottom: 24px;
}
p {
    margin-bottom: 18px;
}

    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
    border: 0 none;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    vertical-align: baseline;
}
#content, #content input, #content textarea {
    color: #333;
    font-size: 16px;
    line-height: 24px;
}
body, input, textarea {
    color: #666;
    font-size: 12px;
    line-height: 18px;
}
body, input, textarea, .page-title span, .pingback a.url {
    font-family: Georgia,"Bitstream Charter",serif;
}
body {
    line-height: 1;
}

    Any ideas as to where:

    element.style {
line-height: 100%;
margin-bottom: 0;
}

    is coming from, or how to fix the issue , would be greatly appreciated

    Sorry but I noticed that the code posted is not as one would see it on the screen. The line: margin-bottom: 18px; is struck through indicating it has been overridden by the format in the line: margin-bottom: 0;

    Can you post a link to your site?

    Ah! Thanks for the offer of help but I have found the source of the error. I had copied in some text that was preformated from another site and it copied html code from that site.

    I was chasing a style problem when it was actually not in the theme at all but in the text. As soon as I viewed it as unformated text the problem was obvious.
