Hello,

does CSS have a selector that allows the selection of content? I want
to syntax highlight specific keywords in my pre and code tags, ideally
operators, numerics, strings, and comments, too.

The "classic" CSS only way to do so seems to be to use spans all over
the place. But, this can become very unhandy at some point. The text
is very hard to read from the HTML code.

Is there such a selector? Am I basically stuck to use spans? Note, I
don't want to use JavaScript or any other techniques, just plain HTML/
CSS.

:-) I love concise answers.

So using spans is the only pure HTML/CSS way to go?

Thanks

Or use another element type if there is a more appropriate one.
