CSS3 Selectors - style hashtag-words

I've searched a lot, but still cant find a way to use CSS3 Selectors to style all words starting with a #... Like #diy. Shouldnt that be possible using css-only?

No, but it can quite easily be done with JavaScript.

Using Extend jQuery.highlight to highlight regular expressions:

$('body').highlight(/\B#\w+/)

Working example: http://jsfiddle.net/kobi/ttd9r/

Selectors aren't designed for selecting text content directly in part or in full, so no, it shouldn't.

Selectors are designed for matching elements. If you want to style hashtags differently, you should be wrapping them in their own elements and then styling those elements.
