`:-moz-only-whitespace` CSS pseudo-class

[!NOTE] In Selectors Level 4, the :empty selector was changed to act like :-moz-only-whitespace, but no browser currently supports this yet.

The :-moz-only-whitespace CSS pseudo-class matches elements that only contain text nodes that only contain whitespace. (This includes elements with empty text nodes and elements with no child nodes.)

Syntax

:-moz-only-whitespace {
  /* ... */
}
