servus peter, here is a real example for this: if i have 100 divs, and i want to pick just the very next element of each .something-class. btw, contao rules! ;-)

How about this:

h1, h2 { margin: 1em 0 }
h1 + h2 { margin-top: -.5em }

Margins for h1 and h2 headings, except for when an h2 appears directly after a h1 (real world use case: you might have section headings for a post, without having an introduction paragraph for the post, and it looks weird having that extra spacing).

I know this is over a year ago but answering in case others read it.

I think it’s because .body-class p + .body-class img are technically not next adjacent to each other.

This would be correct:

.body-class p + img

You probably don’t have another .body-class directly adjacent to p so I don’t think it’s going to select correctly.

How about :nth-of-type instead of nth-child? His way you will only select the, for example 5th li element, no matter how many other elements are in this .container element.

TK, I think this will target a span child of a div sibling to .body-class p:

.body-class p + div span {
    property: value;
}

Hey WilliC,

That was a typo, but it still doesn’t work. I think it’s looking for a direct sibling, so the following does not work:

.body-class p + .body-class img {
    property: value
}

but the following does:

.body-class p + img {
    property: value
}

Is it not working because you are selecting the class .p instead of the element p?

.body-class p + .body-class img {
   color: white;
}

I’ve got the same problem.

I would like to style the child element of a sibling.
Have you found an answer yet?

.body-class .p + .body-class img {
   color: white;
}

for ex:- .container > li + li + li + li + li{}

The above example illustrates its point, but for captions I would use a figure-element surrounding the img and a figcaption-element:

<figure>
  <img src="..." alt=" "> 
  <figcaption>caption for image</figcaption> 
</figure>

That way you can easily style the caption without an adjacent sibling selector. Does any one have real-world examples für the adjacent + combinator?
