CssSelector Component
=====================

CssSelector converts CSS selectors to XPath expressions.

The component only goal is to convert CSS selectors to their XPath
equivalents:

```php
use Symfony\Component\CssSelector\CssSelector;

print CssSelector::toXPath('div.item > h4 > a');
```

HTML and XML are different
--------------------------

The `CssSelector` component comes with an `HTML` extension which is enabled by
default. If you need to use this component with `XML` documents, you have to
disable this `HTML` extension. That's because, `HTML` tag & attribute names
are always lower-cased, but case-sensitive in `XML`:

```php
// disable `HTML` extension:
CssSelector::disableHtmlExtension();

// re-enable `HTML` extension:
CssSelector::enableHtmlExtension();
```

When the `HTML` extension is enabled, tag names are lower-cased, attribute
names are lower-cased, the following extra pseudo-classes are supported:
`checked`, `link`, `disabled`, `enabled`, `selected`, `invalid`, `hover`,
`visited`, and the `lang()` function is also added.
