Add support for CSS Server-side Constants

[kwurzel]

Hey at all!

Does someone know CSS Server-side Constants by Shaun Inman? It is a php powered script allowing support for constants in css files.

[CSS-SSC] hijacks the syntax of at-rules to isolate variable definitions. Variable names and their values are defined like any other CSS property. The goal was to make this as easy-to-use and native-looking as possible:

Code: Select all

@server variables {
    variableName: variableValue;
    }

This is how variables are embeded in the CSS:

Code: Select all

selector {
    property: variableName;
    }

Take a sample (simple) CSS file:

Code: Select all

@server variables {
    primaryLinkColor: #AB6666;
    }

a {
    color: primaryLinkColor;
    }

With CSS-SSV the browser would receive the following:

Code: Select all

a {
    color: #AB6666;
    }

Is there  a possibilty to see it included in CMSMS 2.0? I'd really like to see it in there (maybe using smarty-markup?) since it would give designers and developers an easy way to use constant colour values in their css. And "easy" (or simple) is what CMSMS is about, isn't it?
