No, it does support pseudo-classes, although most readers don't... However, the following pseudo-classes are currently not supported:
- :first-line
- :first-letter
- :before
- :after

Now, :before and :after would not be an issue I guess, but the other ones might. Still, it should not cause an error. The issue with these pseudo-classes is that they address portions of text within a tag, which cannot be translated to an XPath statement which I use to inline the CSS (necessary to properly determine the styling of tags). I think I can work around the :first-letter, but the :first-line might be much more difficult. I need to read into the :first-line a bit more, but IIRC the first line will differ on things like font-size and screen-size. If that is the case, it will become quite difficult to incorporate that.
I will look into this more and will report back.
