Attribute contains word selector [name~=”value”]

Selects elements that have the specified attribute with a value containing a given word, delimited by spaces.

This selector matches the test string against each word in the attribute value, where a "word" is defined as a string delimited by whitespace. The selector matches if the test string is exactly equal to any of the words.
