This list gives a quick overview of the Classes and IDs used in the default theme. More can be generated from several plugins or by adjusting the .tpl files to your needs, but these are the ones you have to deal with in the first place.

The indentation represents the nesting of the HTML elements which use these classes/IDs. This should help you to use the inheritance of formats to your advantage when styling your own template.
