Usage

Double to Single (default)

var pe = require('postcss-pseudoelements');
var postcss = require('postcss');
var options = {
	single: true, // default
	selectors: ['before','after','first-letter','first-line'], // default
};

var processor = postcss(pe(options));

console.log(processor.process('a:before {}').css) // outputs: a:before {}
console.log(processor.process('a::before {}').css) // outputs: a:before {}

Single to Double

var pe = require('postcss-pseudoelements');
var postcss = require('postcss');
var options = {
	single: false,
	selectors: ['before','after','first-letter','first-line'], // default
};

var processor = postcss(pe(options));

console.log(processor.process('a:before {}').css) // outputs: a::before {}
console.log(processor.process('a::before {}').css) // outputs: a::before {}

Options
