Is there a way to target the <strong> in the first <div> below, but not the second? I want to style <strong> if it appears only at the very start of the line but div strong:first-child matches both:

<div><strong>Total:</strong> 12,000 and counting</div>
<div>A total of 12,000 <strong>and counting</strong></div>

I'd say it's impossible without modifying the markup?

In CSS, You can't select a text node. I would suggest you to add a class on `strong` that appears at start of line. – Mohammad Usman Oct 27 '17 at 14:04

Use JavaScript for this or add a class to the element you want to modify. – TylerH Oct 27 '17 at 14:06
