Using axes
//ul/li # ul > li
//ul/child::li # ul > li (same)
//ul/following-sibling::li # ul ~ li
//ul/descendant-or-self::li # ul li
//ul/ancestor-or-self::li # $('ul').closest('li')
// |
ul |
/child:: |
li |
| Axis | Step | Axis | Step |
Steps of an expression are separated by /, usually used to pick child nodes. That's not always true: you can specify a different "axis" with ::. |
