+module HTML
+
+
+  # Selects HTML elements using CSS 2 selectors.
+  #
+  # The +Selector+ class uses CSS selector expressions to match and select
+  # HTML elements.
+  #
+  # For example:
+  #   selector = HTML::Selector.new "form.login[action=/login]"
+  # creates a new selector that matches any +form+ element with the class
+  # +login+ and an attribute +action+ with the value <tt>/login</tt>.
+  #
+  # === Matching Elements
+  #
+  # Use the #match method to determine if an element matches the selector.
+  #
+  # For simple selectors, the method returns an array with that element,
+  # or +nil+ if the element does not match. For complex selectors (see below)
+  # the method returns an array with all matched elements, of +nil+ if no
+  # match found.
+  #
+  # For example:
+  #   if selector.match(element)
+  #     puts "Element is a login form"
+  #   end
+  #
+  # === Selecting Elements
+  #
+  # Use the #select method to select all matching elements starting with
+  # one element and going through all children in depth-first order.
+  #
+  # This method returns an array of all matching elements, an empty array
+  # if no match is found
+  #
+  # For example:
+  #   selector = HTML::Selector.new "input[type=text]"
+  #   matches = selector.select(element)
+  #   matches.each do |match|
+  #     puts "Found text field with name #{match.attributes['name']}"
+  #   end
+  #
+  # === Expressions
+  #
+  # Selectors can match elements using any of the following criteria:
+  # * <tt>name</tt> -- Match an element based on its name (tag name).
+  #   For example, <tt>p</tt> to match a paragraph. You can use <tt>*</tt>
+  #   to match any element.
+  # * <tt>#</tt><tt>id</tt> -- Match an element based on its identifier (the
+  #   <tt>id</tt> attribute). For example, <tt>#</tt><tt>page</tt>.
+  # * <tt>.class</tt> -- Match an element based on its class name, all
+  #   class names if more than one specified.
+  # * <tt>[attr]</tt> -- Match an element that has the specified attribute.
+  # * <tt>[attr=value]</tt> -- Match an element that has the specified
+  #   attribute and value. (More operators are supported see below)
+  # * <tt>:pseudo-class</tt> -- Match an element based on a pseudo class,
+  #   such as <tt>:nth-child</tt> and <tt>:empty</tt>.
+  # * <tt>:not(expr)</tt> -- Match an element that does not match the
+  #   negation expression.
+  #
+  # When using a combination of the above, the element name comes first
+  # followed by identifier, class names, attributes, pseudo classes and
+  # negation in any order. Do not seprate these parts with spaces!
+  # Space separation is used for descendant selectors.
+  #
+  # For example:
+  #   selector = HTML::Selector.new "form.login[action=/login]"
+  # The matched element must be of type +form+ and have the class +login+.
+  # It may have other classes, but the class +login+ is required to match.
+  # It must also have an attribute called +action+ with the value
+  # <tt>/login</tt>.
+  #
+  # This selector will match the following element:
+  #   <form class="login form" method="post" action="/login">
+  # but will not match the element:
+  #   <form method="post" action="/logout">
+  #
+  # === Attribute Values
+  #
+  # Several operators are supported for matching attributes:
+  # * <tt>name</tt> -- The element must have an attribute with that name.
+  # * <tt>name=value</tt> -- The element must have an attribute with that
+  #   name and value.
+  # * <tt>name^=value</tt> -- The attribute value must start with the
+  #   specified value.
+  # * <tt>name$=value</tt> -- The attribute value must end with the
+  #   specified value.
+  # * <tt>name*=value</tt> -- The attribute value must contain the
+  #   specified value.
+  # * <tt>name~=word</tt> -- The attribute value must contain the specified
+  #   word (space separated).
+  # * <tt>name|=word</tt> -- The attribute value must start with specified
+  #   word.
+  #
+  # For example, the following two selectors match the same element:
+  #   #my_id
+  #   [id=my_id]
+  # and so do the following two selectors:
+  #   .my_class
+  #   [class~=my_class]
+  #
+  # === Alternatives, siblings, children
+  #
+  # Complex selectors use a combination of expressions to match elements:
+  # * <tt>expr1 expr2</tt> -- Match any element against the second expression
+  #   if it has some parent element that matches the first expression.
+  # * <tt>expr1 > expr2</tt> -- Match any element against the second expression
+  #   if it is the child of an element that matches the first expression.
+  # * <tt>expr1 + expr2</tt> -- Match any element against the second expression
+  #   if it immediately follows an element that matches the first expression.
+  # * <tt>expr1 ~ expr2</tt> -- Match any element against the second expression
+  #   that comes after an element that matches the first expression.
+  # * <tt>expr1, expr2</tt> -- Match any element against the first expression,
+  #   or against the second expression.
+  #
+  # Since children and sibling selectors may match more than one element given
+  # the first element, the #match method may return more than one match.
+  #
+  # === Pseudo classes
+  #
+  # Pseudo classes were introduced in CSS 3. They are most often used to select
+  # elements in a given position:
+  # * <tt>:root</tt> -- Match the element only if it is the root element
+  #   (no parent element).
+  # * <tt>:empty</tt> -- Match the element only if it has no child elements,
+  #   and no text content.
+  # * <tt>:only-child</tt> -- Match the element if it is the only child (element)
+  #   of its parent element.
+  # * <tt>:only-of-type</tt> -- Match the element if it is the only child (element)
+  #   of its parent element and its type.
+  # * <tt>:first-child</tt> -- Match the element if it is the first child (element)
+  #   of its parent element.
+  # * <tt>:first-of-type</tt> -- Match the element if it is the first child (element)
+  #   of its parent element of its type.
+  # * <tt>:last-child</tt> -- Match the element if it is the last child (element)
+  #   of its parent element.
+  # * <tt>:last-of-type</tt> -- Match the element if it is the last child (element)
+  #   of its parent element of its type.
+  # * <tt>:nth-child(b)</tt> -- Match the element if it is the b-th child (element)
+  #   of its parent element. The value <tt>b</tt> specifies its index, starting with 1.
+  # * <tt>:nth-child(an+b)</tt> -- Match the element if it is the b-th child (element)
+  #   in each group of <tt>a</tt> child elements of its parent element.
+  # * <tt>:nth-child(-an+b)</tt> -- Match the element if it is the first child (element)
+  #   in each group of <tt>a</tt> child elements, up to the first <tt>b</tt> child
+  #   elements of its parent element.
+  # * <tt>:nth-child(odd)</tt> -- Match element in the odd position (i.e. first, third).
+  #   Same as <tt>:nth-child(2n+1)</tt>.
+  # * <tt>:nth-child(even)</tt> -- Match element in the even position (i.e. second,
+  #   fourth). Same as <tt>:nth-child(2n+2)</tt>.
+  # * <tt>:nth-of-type(..)</tt> -- As above, but only counts elements of its type.
+  # * <tt>:nth-last-child(..)</tt> -- As above, but counts from the last child.
+  # * <tt>:nth-last-of-type(..)</tt> -- As above, but counts from the last child and
+  #   only elements of its type.
+  # * <tt>:not(selector)</tt> -- Match the element only if the element does not
+  #   match the simple selector.
+  #
+  # As you can see, <tt>:nth-child<tt> pseudo class and its varient can get quite
+  # tricky and the CSS specification doesn't do a much better job explaining it.
+  # But after reading the examples and trying a few combinations, it's easy to
+  # figure out.
+  #
+  # For example:
+  #   table tr:nth-child(odd)
+  # Selects every second row in the table starting with the first one.
+  #
+  #   div p:nth-child(4)
+  # Selects the fourth paragraph in the +div+, but not if the +div+ contains
+  # other elements, since those are also counted.
+  #
+  #   div p:nth-of-type(4)
+  # Selects the fourth paragraph in the +div+, counting only paragraphs, and
+  # ignoring all other elements.
+  #
+  #   div p:nth-of-type(-n+4)
+  # Selects the first four paragraphs, ignoring all others.
+  #
+  # And you can always select an element that matches one set of rules but
+  # not another using <tt>:not</tt>. For example:
+  #   p:not(.post)
+  # Matches all paragraphs that do not have the class <tt>.post</tt>.
+  #   
+  # === Substitution Values
+  #
+  # You can use substitution with identifiers, class names and element values.
+  # A substitution takes the form of a question mark (<tt>?</tt>) and uses the
+  # next value in the argument list following the CSS expression.
+  #
+  # The substitution value may be a string or a regular expression. All other
+  # values are converted to strings.
+  #
+  # For example:
+  #   selector = HTML::Selector.new "#?", /^\d+$/
+  # matches any element whose identifier consists of one or more digits.
+  #
+  # See http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/
