Issues with inheritance re: table paragraph styling

[SteelWagstaff]

Old Asana ticket:

We've got a book using the Jacobs theme and have noticed some strangeness inside of tables. What's happening is that inside of a table cell we've hit a hard return--the WYWSIWYG will then create a paragraph inside of the table cell. The problem is that the CSS for p elements is being applied rather than the CSS for table text. In this case, I think it could be fixed with some simple CSS, namely:

front-matter table p, .part table p, .chapter table p, .back-matter table p, body#tinymce.wp-editor table p {font-size: inherit; line-height: inherit;}

In this case the CSS for the table element (lines 439-454 of the style.css file) are setting the font-size to .9em and line height to 1.1em, but the paragraph element has a font-size value of 1.125rem and a line-height of 1.5; For now, we can put these rules (or similar ones) in place locally, but I wanted to flag them for a standard, uniform fix by whomever is working on theme improvements
