To select the following sibling (i.e. sibling that is below the current element) the `+` and `~` combinators can be used.

The `~` selects any following general sibling:

<article> <p>ignore</p> <p class="ad">ignore</p> <p>select</p> <p>select</p> </article> The `+` selects one following adjacent sibling (i.e. has to be right below it):

<article> <p>ignore</p> <p class="ad">ignore</p> <p>select</p> <p>ignore</p> </article>
