Of course it can be done by monkeypatching as described above. Whether it should be done that way is another question. :) Another possibility: I recently found out that Haml can use Sass as a markup filter. This has some interesting potential for dynamically generated CSS. Best, -- Marnen Laibow-Koser http://www.marnen.org [email protected] > > Many thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
