Sass Scanner

[nathany]

Syntactically Awesome Style Sheets come in two formats: the whitespace significant original (sass) and the popular CSS-derived alternative (scss). This may require 2 separate scanners, though they share the same keywords, etc.

Reference:

• Sass Reference
• Sass Lexer in Pygments

There are a number of SASS mixin libraries for sample code:

• Bourbon - scss code
• Compass - scss/sass code
• Foundation - scss code

Sass has been added.

Can I refuse to write a SCSS scanner? The http://thesassway.com/articles/sass-vs-scss-which-syntax-is-better discussion is really the pinnacle of meaningful-whitespace-phobia :(

[nathany]

Hah, well I suppose you can, but I think SCSS is a little more popular than the older whitespace SASS format.

[korny]

I think SCSS is a little more popular than the older whitespace SASS format.

True. But the Sass syntax is by no means "old", it's just too modern for design folks.

Should be easier to parse though :-)

[nathany]

I'm with you on preferring SASS. Especially the lack of semicolons.

Though shouldn't SCSS be similar to CSS to parse?

[korny]

Yes, it's essentially CSS plus the new Sass tokens. I'm trying to re-use as much as possible, but with CodeRay's method-based scanners that still means a lot of duplication.

Creating a new ticket for the SCSS scanner. Thank you for your support, @nathany :)
