I know I saw this in one of the CSS SElector tutorial, but can not find it :(

<h1>S<span class="L2">a</span>mple heading</h1>
.L2 { color: red; }

231,236 PointsThere isn't currently. But there is a proposal for future CSS versions to have a ":nth-letter" pseudo-class that would do the trick!
Happy coding!
