Hello list, please consider these XML snippets:
<e/>some text<f/>
<e/>some text<h>blah blah</h>some other text<f/>
<e/><f/>
now apply these CSS selectors to them:
e ~ f matches all
e + f matches the first and the third
There's no CSS selector to match ONLY the third.
But i have a use case for that: sometimes i have endnote markers that immediately follow footnote markers. Since -- in my layout -- footnotes have letter markers and endnotes numbers, it results in something like "c30" in superscript. It would be nice putting a comma between them ("c,30") or a thin space, but the "e + f" selector does not discriminate between:
blah blah<footnote-ref idref="c"/><endnote-ref idref="30"/>
and
blah blah<footnote-ref idref="d"/> some other text <endnote-ref idref="31"/>
it would match both, but it's only the first one that i want to catch.
I'd suggest a non-standard "e ++ f" operator. Would you prefer a lpath expression (which one)?
Greetings, Massi
