February 2013 Meeting Report

At the February meeting of the PACS CSS Workshop, we started with a general discussion about pseudo-classes. We previously worked with this topic when we were styling links and used pseudo-classes like :hover and :visited. Those are referred to as "interaction" pseudo-classes. With the table styling we are working on now, we will be using "structural" pseudo-classes.

We spent the meeting going through variations of styling a simple page with the :nth-child pseudo-class, going from the very general to slightly more specific. Next month, we will look at more details about using :nth-child, get into more specificity, and then consider whether there is a better option for our purposes.
