Hi everybody!
I got a problem, im trying to get some padding on some icons by writing:
img:nth-child(1n+2)
@include xlarge
border: 1px solid black
padding-right: 5%
It should add padding as you see. But i dont work. Only by replacing 1n+2 by odd. Then it selects all the elements, and thats not exactly correct either. When i replace odd with even nothing happens.
I know that the code a write first is correct, it must be... or? :D
This is the HTML:
#author-bio
.place-left
.author-pic
img(src="assets/img/3.svg")
.author-media
a(href="#")
img(src="assets/img/facebook.svg")
a(href="#")
img(src="assets/img/youtube.svg")
a(href="#")
img(src="assets/img/instagram.svg")
And the CSS:
.author-media
padding-top: 5%
@include xlarge
padding-top: 10%
img
width: 48px
height: 48px
@include xlarge
width: 38px
height: 38px
img:nth-child(odd)
@include xlarge
border: 1px solid black
padding-right: 5%
I want to select img 1 and 2.
I'm using JADE and SASS by the way.

The equivalent of "odd" is "2n+1" (not "1n+2").

2,965 PointsYes, but when i write 2n+1 it selects all the elements.. How is that?
