Can I target all tags with a single selector?

Question

I\'d like to target all h tags on a page. I know you can do it this way...

h1,
h2,
h3,
h4,
h5,
h6 {
  font: 32px/42px trajan-pro-1,trajan-pro-2;
}

It's not basic css, but if you're using LESS (http://lesscss.org), you can do this using recursion:

.hClass (@index) when (@index > 0) {
    h@{index} {
        font: 32px/42px trajan-pro-1,trajan-pro-2;
    }
    .hClass(@index - 1);
}
.hClass(6);

Sass (http://sass-lang.com) will allow you to manage this, but won't allow recursion; they have @for syntax for these instances:

@for $index from 1 through 6 {
  h#{$index}{
    font: 32px/42px trajan-pro-1,trajan-pro-2;
  }
}

If you're not using a dynamic language that compiles to CSS like LESS or Sass, you should definitely check out one of these options. They can really simplify and make more dynamic your CSS development.
