+// * /pre[@class='rust trait'] — selects immediate child with tag pre and classes rust and trait
+// * /code — selects immediate child with tag code

+// * //text() — selects child that is text node
+// * /parent::* — selects immediate parent of the text node (the * means it can be any tag)

+// This uses '/parent::*' as a proxy for the style of the text node.
