UnNth Build Status

UnNth replaces :nth-child selectors with :first-child selectors. This can be useful when outputting CSS for older browsers like Internet Explorer 8.

/* before */

.container > p:nth-child(4).specific > span {
   font-weight: bold;
}

/* after */

.container > :first-child + * + * + p.specific > span {
    font-weight: bold;
}
