example with * selector

Insert attached graphic into a Draw document. Compare it with opening in a browser.
The rectangle belongs to the subjects of the * selector. Therefore the declarations of the rule must be considered. That leads to fill in silver instead of default black, and stroke-width 1 from css instead of 10 from non-css.

Grepping to keep in focus
Comment 2 Armin Le Grand 2014-10-09 12:09:04 UTC 
Took a look. Regina, is it correct that in this case the '*' selector is:
- active for all elements, thus it is used for 'svg' and both 'rect's
- only one Css '*' selector is possible per file (?)

i125329 Take care of Css selector '*'
Comment 4 Armin Le Grand 2014-10-09 15:04:53 UTC 
Okay, added code to have the * selector added to the styles chain as last element if available. This makes the import look as in other browsers.
Comment 5 Regina Henschel 2014-10-09 15:16:09 UTC 
A universal selector * matches every element in the document tree.

A * can be followed by attribute selectors or ID-selectors (or -not yet implemented in AOO-  pseudo-classes). In these cases the * my be omitted.

So
* matches all.
*.myclass is equivalent to .myclass
*#myId is equivalent to #myID

Yes, both rect elements match the * selector, but the first one gets its actual stroke and fill colors from the ID-selector rule, because that is more specific. The second rect element gets its stroke-width from the * selector, because css has precedence over svg attribute.

There are several * selectors per file possible, same as for other selectors.
Comment 6 Armin Le Grand 2014-10-09 15:50:16 UTC 
Hi Regina, thanks so far. I will also need to add support for

*.myclass is equivalent to .myclass
*#myId is equivalent to #myID

or in short: When no '*' alone, delete it.

> There are several * selectors per file possible, same as for other selectors.

Should this not be only one standalone '*' one? Which one will win when there are several ones? Or was this sentence about e.g. several *.myclass or similar?

More to be done, reopening
