Styling elements based on sibling count

Read Original

This article presents an improved CSS technique for styling elements based on their total sibling count. It builds upon an existing approach using :nth-child and :nth-last-child selectors but reduces verbosity by combining them with sibling selectors (~). The author demonstrates how this optimization makes the technique practical for larger numbers of children while acknowledging modern alternatives like Flexbox.
