In this example we are using the <code>not()</code> selector to apply a yellow outline to anything that is <strong>not</strong> a <code>p</code> element in the demo area. Notice that the selector targets not only each list item in the <code>ul</code> element, but also the <code>ul</code> element itself:

Oranges are round, orange-colored fruit that grow on trees. There are many different kinds of oranges, including:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Valencia</li>
<li>Navel</li>
<li>Clementine</li>
<li>Cara Cara</li>
<li>Lima</li>
</ul>
<p>
Oranges are a commonly available source of Vitamin C, and last longer than many other fruits when stored. They are easy to transport because each orange comes in its own tough skin which acts as a container.
