Sass mappings and indented syntax

Question

Is there a way to indent Sass\' 3.3 mappings?

In scss we can write following:

$colors: (
  header: #b06,
  text: #334,
  footer: #666777
)


        

Answer 1

There is number of issues with the indented syntax in SASS.

Unfortunately SASS syntax doesn't support Multi-line. Reading the documentation, there is only one exception, when it comes to multiple CSS selectors like in this example:

.users #userTab,
.posts #postTab
    width: 100px
    height: 30px

Read the complete documentation here:

http://sass-lang.com/docs/yardoc/file.INDENTED_SYNTAX.html#multiline_selectors

So, there is no possibility to get multi-line support for an argument list in SASS.

Answer 2

This is a known issue and will not be addressed any time soon.

This is definitely something I'd like to add, but it would take a considerable amount of effort due to the refactoring of the indented syntax that would be required. Right now that's just lower priority than adding features that benefit everyone.
