How to select multiple children using css ": nth-child ()"

Question

div div p:nth-child(1 to 5) 

How can I select multiple numbers with nth-child, so I get children from 1 to 5 without having to write:

 div div p:nth-child(1), div div p:nth-child(2), div div p:nth-child(3), div div p:nth-child(4), div div p:nth-child(5) { } 

So it should look like this:

 div div p:nth-child(1 to 5) 

Answer 1

 div div p:nth-child(-n+5){ } 

This will select the first 5 children.

Answer 2

 div div p:nth-child(1), div div p:nth-child(2), div div p:nth-child(3), div div p:nth-child(4), div div p:nth-child(5){ } 

Or

 div div p:nth-child(-n+5){ } 

Answer 3

 div div p:nth-child(n+1):nth-child(-n+5){ } 

select items 1 to 5

Answer 4

I attached a link to the JSFiddle, which should do what you ask, but it should look something like this:

 li:nth-child(-n+5){ color: red; }
