With p + p, you also would apply the styles not only to the second paragraph, but also to the third, fourth, etc. Instead, with p:nth-child(2), you only would apply the style to the second paragraph. Do you see the difference?
And never a <p> tag can be a "child" of another <p> tag. It would be a successor, but not a child. Thouse tags are "childs" of <body> or, if it's present, a <div> tag. For example:
Code:
<div>
<p>This is the first paragraph and the first child of div</p>
<p>This is the second paragraph, the second child of div</p>
</div>
Acording what you are looking for, maybe could try the following:
Code:
p[id ~= my_id] + p {
text-indent: 0;
}
and in the xhtml file:
Code:
<p id="my_id 1">This is the first paragraph</p>
<p>This is the second paragraph</p> /* This one won't be indented */
...
...
<p id="my_id 2">This is the first paragraph</p>
<p>This is the second paragraph</p> /* This one won't be indented */
Take in count that must be a space in the names you give: "my_id 1", "my_id 2", etc..
So, instead of using:
Code:
<p class="class1">blah, blah, blah</p>
<p>blah, blah, blah</p>
you would be using:
Code:
<p id="my_id 1">blah, blah, blah</p>
<p>blah, blah, blah</p>
and in the .css stylesheet, instead of:
Code:
p.class1 + p, p.class2 + p, p.class3 + p {
text-indent: 0;
}
you would be using:
Code:
p[id ~= my_id] + p {
text-indent: 0;
}
And perhaps would be better yet to employ:
Code:
p[title ~= my_title] + p {
text-indent: 0;
}
and
Code:
<p title="my_title 1">blah, blah, blah</p>
<p>blah, blah, blah</p>
because of that way you can use in the same .xhtml file, the same title in several places.
With the selector "p[title ~= my_title] + p", you are going to select all <p> tags that are successors of another <p> tag with a title attribute containing the word "my_title".
