[oXygen-user] authormode css, first-child pseudo class

Mon Oct 28 10:30:27 CDT 2013

Hi Andreas,

The first-child selector does not work the way you think it does.

A selector like this:

> head:first-child:before

matches a <head> element which is a first child of its parent element.
Specs here:

So your selectors should be like:

>   lb{
>    display:inline;
>    -oxy-display-tags:none;
> }
> p lb:before, item lb:before, head lb:before{
>    content:"\A? ";
> }
> p lb:first-child:before, item lb:first-child:before, head lb:first-child:before{
>    content:"? ";
> }

Regards,
Radu
