Thread: Why do list items default to a smaller font?

Why do list items default to a smaller font?

Hi folks - I've just added a standard list item to one of my pages and noticed that the list item is adding a span style within the html - this means that the list item is much smaller than the rest of the body font (which I've changed to be larger in my child theme's style.css)

Here is the html code that the list items are outputting

<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">list*</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">list</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">list</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">list</span></li>
</ul>


I would imagine it's not preferable to add inline styles to default WP list items. Can you tell me how to remove please?
