   Would someone be kind enough to explain what it means when code is ‘repeated’ in a css.style sheet theme?
   Like this ‘double ul ul’ for instance:

   ‘}
   #sidebar ul ul
   {
   list-style:none;
   margin:0.5em 0 0 1em;
   padding:0;
   }’

   What’s the significance of the second ‘ul’ ?

   (the expression preceding the one above is almost identical, but without the repeated ‘ul’ and with the margin set to ‘0’)

   So let's say my sample HTML looks like this:

   <ul>
<li>Papa John's</li>
<li>Dominos</li>

   <li>
<ul>
<li>Mushrooms</li>
<li>Pepperoni</li>
<li>Tomatoes</li>
</ul>
</li>

   <li>Pizza Hut</li>
</ul>

   ul { color: blue; } would make all the text blue, including "Papa Johns", "Pepperoni", "Pizza Hut" etc.

   ul ul { color: blue; } would make only the pizza toppings blue, NOT the pizzeria names.
