Manipulate HTML with CSS selectors.

The select attribute should be a CSS selector which will filter tags from the src string. The other attributes define what should happen to the matches tags.

The following example defines a <filter> which uses <strain> to add class="lead" to the first paragraph of HTML:

<filter name="leadp" value="html">
    <doc>Add class="lead" to first paragraph</doc>
    <soup:strain src="html" select="p" max="1" let:class="'lead'" dst="leadp"/>
    <return value="html:leadp"/>
</filter>
