Multiple pseudo selectors possible?

Would it be possible to have multiple pseudo selectors for things i.e. if you wanted to use

a[attr$]:before

Would that be possible? That way we could use icons in the before pseudo class instead of using a background.

Yes, you could use an attribute selector to match links with a pdf extension for example and then combine with the :before or :after pseudo element selectors to add a pdf icon to your pdf links.

I believe one of the projects here covers this.

Awesome. I thought you might be able to. Didn't know there was a project on that kind of thing later on but thanks for the answer
