Hi,

I am trying to create some custom paragraph styles with CSS.

```
p.custom-class {
  font-size: 30px;
  line-height: 40px;
  direction: rtl;
}

```

But when I call that class in Discourse editor it is not working:  
`<p class="custom-class">TEXT</p>`

I will create multiple paragraph style. I need a solution for this. Any solution?

Thanks.

Edit: It seems div[data-theme-\*] is working but not working for p element.
