Home Forums CSS how many CSS files? Re: how many CSS files?

Personally, I love using SASS (http://haml.hamptoncatlin.com/docs/rdoc … /Sass.html) While it’s a little tougher to use outside of the Rails framework, it makes a cinch of writing CSS. Furthermore HAML is a true gem (no pun intended) when it comes to writing markup. You can be the judge. What looks prettier, this

Code:


My Site

My Site

Lorem ipsum yadda yadda


or this?

Code:
%html
%head
%title My Site
%body
#page
%h1 My Site
%p Lorem ipsum yadda yadda

More on topic, SASS handles the "encapsulation" you usually have to do manually in a CSS file. So instead of writing

Code:
div#page {
width: 800px
}
div#page p {
padding: 10px
}
div#page p a {
color: red
}

you can write

Code:
div#page
:width 800px
p
:padding 10px
a
:color red
