Reply To: first-child / last-child ? how to make consecutive styles behave differently

Thanks both of you for your hints and tips and Adam your screencast explained that very well. I'll give the Formatting Tools a whirl too (it has “preceded by” too) as I bought the In-Book suite (with the IndesignScripts discount a while back) but there's so much in there I've not tried everything yet. Obviously, there's no equivalent to the :first-child / :last-child pseudo-selectors in ID so it looks like we have to work with some 'redundant' styles.
