Space Between Selector
ol > * + * {
margin-top: 1rem;
}
For direct descendants of ordered list (so, list items, <li>
), for any element that is the adjacent sibling to any other element, apply margin top. This has the effect of giving every element except the first element a margin top. Semantically, this is a "space between" styling. This is essentially how tailwindcss implements their space between space-y-4
class, where ol
is replace by the class, e.g.,
.space-y-4 > * + * {
margin-top: 1rem;
}
