Automatically class first paragraph of body text?

I tried to automatically class the first body paragraph with rss_auto_excerpt, but the plugin doesn’t appear to be working properly — or I’m not righting it write. It’s not applying the class or skipping paragraphs — though it is losing the link.

<txp:rss_auto_excerpt paragraphs="1" excerptwraptag="intro" showlinkwithexcerpt="0"/>
 <txp:rss_auto_excerpt skipparagraphs="1" paragraphs="99" />

Sure, yes, I know I could use excerpts or something, but I want to use those for something else, and this must be doable “automatically”. Tell me it’s true :)

Ta!

Couldn’t you use CSS p:first-child selector instead?

Otherwise, etc_query should do it:

<txp:etc_query data='<txp:body />' replace="//p[1]@@class=my-class" />

Oh yeah, that did it! Thank you, etc.

Actually, even core should be able to do it now:

<txp:body trim="/^<p/" replace="<p class='my-class'" />
