Re: [web-devel] Cascading/Scoping via indenting/whitespace in Cassius

3 Apr 2011

      Hi,

that is nice to hear, although I especially favor the brace-less syntax. 
I think I'll have a hard time to choose between those two. Unfortunately 
I have absolutely no clue about those parsing and template Haskell 
things, but maybe I'll give it a try on a boring evening.

Thanks,
Timo

Cassius actually supported this in the past. However, there are some
technical problems involving the syntax that led me to take it out.
However, this *is* a feature that's planned for Lucius, the
brace-syntax sibling of Cassius.
I'm open to revisiting the issue on Cassius, especially if someone
submits a patch.

Hi,
one of my most loved features in SASS is automatic scoping/cascading via
indenting/significant whitespace.
Consider the following SASS code:
#header
  p
    color: red
#content
  p
    color: blue
Sass does automatically cascade the two p definitions in the resulting CSS:
#header p { color: red; }
#content p { color: blue; }
Is this possible in Cassius? Or considered as feature for the future? IMHO
does this feature lead to very concisely scoped CSS while removing the
burden of specifying the cascades from the developer.
Cheers,
T.
