But it's how psedo-elements work. This "selector":
p:first-line
selects the first line of every p element (by creating a
pseudo-element etc). Likewise, this selector:
@page funky:nth(2)
should give us the second page of every funky page group.
Thinking of it as pseduo-elements may make it easier to extend into:
@page funky:nth(2) p
Where all p elements inside those pseud-elements are selected.
