CSS selector for paragraph in column block

Hi @jasnick. I am not 100% sure I have enough details to help effectively.

Why are those paragraphs showing as italics in the first place?

Could you please share a link (or multiple links, if this needs to be fixed in several place) to the site you need help with so we can take a direct look?.

Thank you!

Thanks for reply Alvaro

The paragraphs were originally copied and pasted from Word docs.

Staging environment at present so would rather not post links.

While not new to web design, I am fairly new to using Gutenberg.
In a non-Gutenberg site I would just use CSS so that all paragraphs would have a certain style in whatever part of the site they were on. For example:

.entry-content p{
font-style:normal;
}

So I was wondering what the selector would be for column blocks.
I can see that I can remove the italics on each block on each page manually but was hoping I could do it via CSS globally for the site. Or is that not possible in Gutenberg?

Thanks

Hello there @jasnick!

Thank you for mentioning that this was copy/paste from somewhere else. If the italics come from a standard <em> tag, you could turn them back into normal text using the following CSS:

.wp-block-column p em {font-style:normal}

The only problem here is that you would not be able to add italics inside columns in the future, as they would be changed to regular text.

I hope that helps!

Thank you so much Alvaro

That is brilliant. I would never have thought to use em in the selector. I will remember not to add italics in future.

Thank you again.
