  • %or% - Select left hand or right hand, e.g.: sel_id('myId') %or% sel_class('myClass') will select both the element with the id and elements with the class. Ideal to select and apply rules multiple elements at once.

Examples

# select all paragraph 'p' with "red" class sel_tag("p") %with% sel_class("red")
#> CSS selector: p.red
# the other way around works equally well sel_class("red") %with% sel_tag("p")
#> CSS selector: .redp
# select multiple elements # where id = "x" or class = "center" sel_id("x") %or% sel_class("center")
#> CSS selector: #x,.center
# select element with id = "x" and parent's id = "y" sel_id("y") %child% sel_id("y")
#> CSS selector: #y #y
