:not()
The negation pseudo-class, :not(X), is a functional notation taking a simple selector X as an argument. It matches an element that is not represented by the argument. X must not contain another negation selector, or any pseudo-elements.
The specificity of the :not pseudo-class is the specificity of its argument. The :not pseudo-class does not add to the selector specificity, unlike other pseudo-classes.
