I'm trying to implement a sort of zebra striping, but I want to constrain the eligible tags to those that are immediately adjacent to each other. For example a b c d e Kinda sorta CSS that doesn't really work .match + .match:nth-child(2n){ ... } The spans a, b and c should be zebra striped because the are immediately adjacent to each other, but e should not. Can nth-child be used in this way?
Do you mean after every last .nomatch, the next immediate .match should start at 0? Something like [white, black, white, red, red, white, black] where .nomatch is red?
