Is there a way to [style](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/126300/apa-citation-style-get-to-know-about-it-for-your-next-assignment) the first [word](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/305/read-word-file) in tag differently than the other words in that tag?

Is there way I could style the word "[Wordpress](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12248/franco-elegant-woocommerce-wordpress-theme)" differently than the other words using [css](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/514/background-gradient-ie7-css-problem)? I know I could just [put](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/111890/can-you-explain-the-difference-between-put-and-post-http-methods) a span with a [unique](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/12870/how-to-be-unique-in-business) [class](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/165/generic-class-in-c-sharp) around the word Wordpress, but is it possible without doing that? Thanks ## Replies ### Reply by shreesh chandra shukla Hi! There is no :first-word selector unfortunately. You can take a look at this script though that implements it by adding the firstWord class to, well, the first word. span.firstWord { font-weight:bold; text-decoration: underline; } \ ## --- Original Source: https://www.mindstick.com/forum/1411/css-text-styling Copyright © MindStick Software Pvt.
