Thanks for the reply Chris, That's good to know that + will be kept in. I started using scss, but actually prefer the shorter syntax of sass.
How about using < to indicate @extends? This would be similar to Ruby class inheritance. So for example: .error color: red .bigerror < error Does this get in the way of child selectors? If so, how about the double-angle bracket <<, a bit like appending in Ruby? .bigerror << error Thanks again, DAZ On Aug 15, 5:59 pm, Chris Eppstein <[email protected]> wrote: > @mixin and @include were introduced for scss to avoid introducing new > parsing rules into that syntax.
