## API

### `parseSelector([selector][, defaultTagName])`

Parse a CSS `selector` to a [HAST][] node.

###### `selector`

`string`, optional — Can contain a tag-name (`foo`), classes (`.bar`),
and an ID (`#baz`).  Multiple classes are allowed.  Uses the last ID if
multiple IDs are found.

###### `defaultTagName`

`string`, optional, defaults to `div` — Tag name to use if `selector` does not
specify one.

###### Returns

[`Node`][hast].
