About ::selection pseudo, in particular "Applies to the portion of a
document that has been highlighted by the user." [1]
Is it selector that defines some global object or is it supposed to be
applied to particular elements too?
If later then what are the cascading/inheritance rules?
Let's say we have some <richtext> or just <div contenteditbale> on the
page.
Then what would mean the following?:
richtext::selection
{
background-color: highlight;
color: highlight-text;
}
And how it will interact with say:
richtext p::selection
{
color: white;
}
?
Will p::selection pseudo-element inherit background-color: highlight;
value or not? It appears that ::selection elements shall establish their
own inheritance chain so p::selection pseudo will inherit *all* attributes
of any ::selection object defined upstream.
I think that styleable ::selection in principle is a good thing,
just want to clarify how it can be used/implemented.
