CSS Structural Pseudo-classes

🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)

Structural pseudo-classes select elements based on their position in the document tree, letting you target things like the first child or language-tagged elements without adding extra classes. [S1]

🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)

  • Definition — Structural pseudo-classes select elements based on their position in the document tree. [S1]
  • :first-child — Matches an element that is the first child of another element. [S1]
  • :lang() — Used to select elements with a lang attribute set to the specified value. [S1]
  • Position is relative to the parent — selection depends on where the element sits among its siblings, not on a class or id. [S1]

🧩 추출된 패턴 (Extracted patterns)

  • First-child targetingselector:first-child styles only the element that appears first inside its parent. [S1]
  • Combining position with descentp em:first-child vs p:first-child em produce different results depending on which element the :first-child is attached to. [S1]
  • Language-aware styling:lang(code) applies styles (e.g. quotation marks) only to elements carrying a matching lang value. [S1]

📖 세부 내용 (Details)

Introduction [S1] Structural pseudo-classes select elements based on their position in the document tree.

The :first-child pseudo-class [S1] The :first-child pseudo-class matches a specified element that is the first child of another element.

Style all first child <p> elements:

p:first-child {
  color: blue;
}

Style the first <em> element in all <p> elements:

p em:first-child {
  color: blue;
}

Style all <em> elements in all first child <p> elements:

p:first-child em {
  color: blue;
}

The :lang() pseudo-class [S1] The :lang() pseudo-class is used to select elements with a lang attribute with the specified value.

Define quotation marks for <q> elements with lang="no" (Norwegian):

<html>
<head>
<style>
q:lang(no) {
  quotes: "~" "~";
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<p>Some text <q lang="no">A quote in a paragraph</q> Some text.</p>

</body>
</html>

Other structural pseudo-classes [S1]

Pseudo-class Description
:last-child Matches the last child of a parent
:nth-child(n) Matches the nth child of a parent
:nth-last-child(n) Matches the nth child from the end
:only-child Matches an element that is the only child
:first-of-type Matches the first element of its type
:last-of-type Matches the last element of its type
