:contains(text)To find content that includes parentheses, escape those with a {@code \}.
p:contains(jsoup) finds p elements containing the text "jsoup".{@code p:contains(hello \(there\) finds p elements containing the text "Hello (There)"}
:containsOwn(text)p:containsOwn(jsoup) finds p elements with own text "jsoup".:roothtml element:root:nth-child(an+b)elements that have an+b-1 siblings before it in the document tree, for any positive integer or zero value of n, and has a parent element. For values of a and b greater than zero, this effectively divides the element's children into groups of a elements (the last group taking the remainder), and selecting the bth element of each group. For example, this allows the selectors to address every other row in a table, and could be used to alternate the color of paragraph text in a cycle of four. The a and b values must be integers (positive, negative, or zero). The index of the first child of an element is 1.
:nth-child() can take odd and even as arguments instead. odd has the same signification as 2n+1, and even has the same signification as 2n.tr:nth-child(2n+1) finds every odd row of a table. :nth-child(10n-1) the 9th, 19th, 29th, etc, element. li:nth-child(5) the 5h li:nth-child() supports odd and even as arguments. odd is the same as 2n+1, and even is the same as 2n.tr:nth-child(2n+1) finds every odd row of a table. :nth-child(10n-1) the 9th, 19th, 29th, etc, element. li:nth-child(5) the 5h li:nth-last-child(an+b)an+b-1 siblings after it in the document tree. Otherwise like :nth-child()tr:nth-last-child(-n+2) the last two rows of a table:nth-of-type(an+b)an+b-1 siblings with the same expanded element name before it in the document tree, for any zero or positive integer value of n, and has a parent elementimg:nth-of-type(2n+1):nth-last-of-type(an+b)an+b-1 siblings with the same expanded element name after it in the document tree, for any zero or positive integer value of n, and has a parent elementimg:nth-last-of-type(2n+1)A word on using regular expressions in these selectors: depending on the content of the regex, you will need to quote the pattern using Pattern.quote("regex") for it to parse correctly through both the selector parser and the regex parser. E.g. String query = "div:matches(" + Pattern.quote(regex) + ");".
Escaping special characters: to match a tag, ID, or other selector that does not follow the regular CSS syntax, the query must be escaped with the \ character. For example, to match by ID {@code
}, use {@code document.select("#i\\.d")}.
