Hello List!

I've been hacking at an interesting experiment using mxied in class
functions to build and generate css.

The result is RubyCSS, which takes something like the following and turns it
into compact CSS.

require 'rubycss'

class Test
  include RubyCSS::StyleSheet

  abstract :text_base do
    color c(:red)
  end

  select ".test" do
    extends :text_base
    margin 12
  end
end

puts Test.compile
=> .test {color: #ff0000; margin: 12px;}

If you feel like taking it for a spin, it can be found at

My goal is to stick to vanilla Ruby, and I've found it very a nice match for
complex style sheets.

Some of my goals involve:
 - Better color arithmetics
 - Add more aliased and expanding css rule (like border-radius =>
-moz-border-radius, -webkit-border-radius and border-radius)
 - Define sensible default stylesheet rules, like sets of fonts or grid
layouts.
 - Better and configurable implicit conversions (like 12 -> "12px").

I hope you find it useful!
