Specification test cases

The test cases below are imported from the Turbo CSS specification. They have been executed upon loading this page.
Only show an element when the mode-show class is added.
t1 mode-show:flex
.t1.mode-show\:flex.mode-show { display: flex; }
Mode selector with multiple words.
t1 mode-show-with-multiple-words:flex
.t1.mode-show-with-multiple-words\:flex.mode-show-with-multiple-words { display: flex; }
Only show an element when the grand-parent element has the mode-show class added.
t1 mode-show://flex
.mode-show > * > .t1.mode-show\:\/\/flex { display: flex; }
Only show the element when any of its ancestors has the mode-show class added.
t1 mode-show:/../flex
.mode-show .t1.mode-show\:\/\.\.\/flex { display: flex; }
Mode selectors may contain numbers and uppercase letters.
t1 mode-havingNumbers-1-2-3:flex
.t1.mode-havingNumbers-1-2-3\:flex.mode-havingNumbers-1-2-3 { display: flex; }
When using mode-open as a class, it does nothing. It is not namespaced, no CSS is generated and no error is thrown. It is used to match thus activate other mode selectors.
t1 mode-open
Mode class name with multiple segments.
t1 mode-class-name-with-multiple-segments
Mode class with numbers in it.
t1 mode-1-2-3
