Some bright folks also feel the same pain and went ahead and built meta-languages and compilers that take their own version of CSS and compile it to standard CSS code. Their own CSS meta-language is thus able to have new features, like variables, mixins, operations and so on. The most notable of these right now is SASS (part of HAML). I've tried SASS and really liked it, but one thing really bothered me. I didn't like how all the syntax was different to CSS. Sure, it's not CSS anymore, it's SASS, but do we really need to change the syntax of the stuff already present in CSS - why not just expand it? I've asked a friend of mine who is much more competent at programming than me about how long it would take to code a CSS compiler that retained the original CSS syntax but added a bunch of new features. He liked the idea and so we've put together our own version of CSS together with a compiler we call LESS, which stands for Leaner CSS.

Terra Informatica services include: HTMLayout, WYSIWYG HTML Word Processor, and TIScript compiler-vm.

The LESS Ruby gem compiles LESS code to CSS.  LESS is an extension of CSS. You can write LESS code just like you would write CSS, except you need to compile it to CSS. That's what the gem is for. If you are on Mac OS X, you can install the gem by typing the following command in the terminal:

LESS extends CSS with dynamic behavior such as variables, mixins, operations and functions. LESS runs on both the server-side (with Node.js and Rhino) or client-side (modern browsers only).

"Since Sass and Compass are Ruby gems, they require that you have a working knowledge of Ruby and the command line. Not all designers will know how or want to use command line tools, and that's where Scout steps in. Scout runs Sass and Compass in a self-contained Ruby environment, letting you effortlessly manage all of your Sass projects with a handful of clicks. You'll never have to worry about your Ruby setup or deal with technical issues. Scout does all of the heavy lifting, giving you more time to do what you love."

Tout ce qui a toujours manqué à CSS ! C'est un peu long mais ça vaut le détour !

The PHP PEAR also known as PHP Extension and Application Repository, is a repository built especially for PHP software code. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install the PHP PEAR on the linux server. Install PEAR allows you to install various extensions without compiling the source packages.
