That puts the whole <div> content inside the \section, and I don’t think that was the intent. I understood that Pablo only wants the “h3” node.

In the original request, the CSS “{h3 + blockquote}” matches a “blockquote” anyplace where it is immediately preceded by a “h3” (and nowhere else). 
After that, some trickery was needed to try and get back to the actual “h3”. 

My trick above with preceding-sibling above also gets the “h3” that is immediately followed by a “blockquote”, but it got easily
confused if there were multiple “h3” or “blockquote” objects in the input.

Best wishes,
Taco

PS This sort of confusing filtering is why I do most of my xml processing from the lua end, where it is much clearer to me what is what.
