Customizing the formatting output of .sass?

Question

#foo {
color:black; }

Is there some sort of option to prefix a newline before the trailing } when a .css file is generated from .sass?

I would appreciate it if someone included an example of combining sass --watch style.scss:style.css, which is what I'm using, along with this newline requirement.

Answer 1

Try running your generated files through CSSTidy. CSSTidy has plenty of options.

Alternately, you could do a simple find/replace using grep and sed if you're using a UNIX-like system. Here's a good guide to using the tools.

Answer 2

You can set the style to expanded: http://sass-lang.com/docs/yardoc/file.SASS_REFERENCE.html#output_style

Answer 3

You can pass a --style parameter to specify what you want. I think you want the "expanded" style:

sass --watch style.scss:style.css --style expanded

See the Sass documentation for different output styles.
