I asked this question before at Math.SE ([link](http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1611980/description-of-levi-factors-and-unipotent-radicals-of-parabolic-subgroups-in-cla)) but got no answer.

Let $G$ be an algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p \geq 0$. Then any parabolic subgroup $P$ of $G$ has factorization $P = Q \rtimes L$, where $Q$ is the unipotent radical of $P$ and $L$ is some Levi factor of $P$.

If $G = GL(V)$ with $\dim V = n$, then $$P = \{ \pmatrix{A_{n_1} &  & & * \\  & A_{n_2} & & \\  &  & \ddots & \\ 0 &  & & A_{n_t} } \}$$

for some $n = n_1 + \cdots + n_t$ and $$Q = \{ \pmatrix{I_{n_1} &  & & * \\  & I_{n_2} & & \\  &  & \ddots & \\ 0 &  & & I_{n_t} } \}$$ and for example $$L = \{ \pmatrix{A_{n_1} &  & & 0 \\  & A_{n_2} & & \\  &  & \ddots & \\ 0 &  & & A_{n_t} } \}$$


So $L \cong GL_{n_1} \times GL_{n_2} \times \cdots \times GL_{n_t}$. What about when $G = \operatorname{Sp}(V)$ or $G = \operatorname{SO}(V)$? I suppose the answer will be different for $p = 2$ and $p \neq 2$.

I know that for $\operatorname{Sp}$ and $\operatorname{SO}$ any parabolic subgroup $P$ is a stabilizer of a flag of totally singular subspaces. 

How does one describe $Q$ and $L$? Is there a good reference for this?

I suppose if $P$ is the stabilizer of the flag $0 \subset V_1 \subset V_2 \subset \cdots \subset V_t$ of totally singular subspaces of $V$, then intuitively $Q$ should consist of those maps which stabilize each $V_i$ and act trivially on each $V_{i} / V_{i-1}$. But what do the Levi factors $L$ of $P$ look like?
