Results[edit]

Location Can be separated?
Windows Linux Mac
IE8 IE9 IE1x Chrome Firefox Opera Safari ... Chrome Firefox Safari Chrome Firefox Opera
word - first ref (adjacent) yes yes yes no no no no
word - first ref (with punctuation) yes yes yes no yes no no
first - second ref no yes yes no depends yes no
inner - inner ref no yes yes no depends yes no
inner - last ref no yes yes no no yes no

Firefox seems to create groups of usually two elements (or three for the last group if needed):

  • if there's no separation between the preceding word and the 1st ref:
    • word+1st, 2nd+3rd, 4th+5th, ..., [2q]th+[2q+1]th.
    • word+1st, 2nd+3rd, 4th+5th, ..., [2q]th+[2q+1]th+[2q+2]th.
  • if the word before the 1st ref is separated (either by white-space or by punctuation):
    • 1st+2nd, 3rd+4th, 5th+6th, ..., [2q-1]th+[2q]th.
    • 1st+2nd, 3rd+4th, 5th+6th, ..., [2q-1]th+[2q]th+[2q+1]th.
