[21:14:49] <ShakespeareFan00>	 Found a quirk  : <table style="td:nth-child(1) { width: 2.25in; background-color: #FF0000  }  ; ">  when put into a mediwiki page generates output of -  <table style="td:nth-child(1) &#123; width: 2.25in; background-color: #FF0000 }&#160;;">
[21:14:58] <ShakespeareFan00>	 which means the styles aren't rendered
[21:15:14] <ShakespeareFan00>	 So how do you put in styles that use selectors?
[21:18:26] <ShakespeareFan00>	 Oh glorious members of tech-cabal, Please educate a lowly user on how to do things :)
[21:23:11] <Dereckson>	 ShakespeareFan00: I like the Platonides suggestion to edit directyl common.css
[21:23:32] <ShakespeareFan00>	 This is for a single rather specifc instance
[21:23:51] <ShakespeareFan00>	 https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Page:Cowie%27s_Printer%27s_pocket-book_and_manual.djvu/65
[21:24:19] <ShakespeareFan00>	 To me it would be nicer to actually fix the parser so it doesen't recode the { and } .
[21:24:40] <ShakespeareFan00>	 And then I could use the nth-child slectors as CSS was DESIGNED to
[21:24:48] <ShakespeareFan00>	 rather than having to work around quirks
[21:25:34] <ShakespeareFan00>	 I must have a knack for finding diabologically perverse test cases :(
[21:25:47] <ShakespeareFan00>	 Like Tablecrux in LST ( see Wikisource)
[21:26:48] <ShakespeareFan00>	 Yes I could ask for it to be in Common.css , but for a single table in a single work that seems like over-kill
[21:29:15] <p858snake>	 AFAIK we don't support that level of styling directly in page wikitext, you would need to do something higher such as Mediawiki:Common.css if you wanted it
