CleverCSS 0.1

Nutshell

To get an idea of how CleverCSS works you can see a small example below. Note the indentation based syntax and how you can nest rules:

ul#comments, ol#comments:
  margin: 0
  padding: 0

  li:
    padding: 0.4em
    margin: 0.8em 0 0.8em

    h3:
      font-size: 1.2em
    p:
      padding: 0.3em
    p.meta:
      text-align: right
      color: #ddd

Of course you can do the very same in CSS, but because of its flat nature the code would look more verbose. The following piece of code is the CleverCSS output of the above file:

ul#comments,
ol#comments {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

ul#comments li,
ol#comments li {
  padding: 0.4em;
  margin: 0.8em 0 0.8em;
}

ul#comments li h3,
ol#comments li h3 {
  font-size: 1.2em;
}

ul#comments li p,
ol#comments li p {
  padding: 0.3em;
}

ul#comments li p.meta,
ol#comments li p.meta {
  text-align: right;
  color: #dddddd;
}

But that’s only a small example of what you can do with CleverCSS. Have a look at the following documentation of CleverCSS for more details.
