How can I get the nanoc SASS filter to use SCSS syntax?

nanoc, ruby

Solution

This turned out to be quite simple:

filter :sass, syntax: :scss

Filters in nanoc seem to follow the pattern of taking any options they're given and passing them along to whatever object actually does the work. For instance, `Nanoc::Filters::Sass` does this in its `run` method:

def run(content, params={})
  options = params.dup
  # supply default options, etc...
  engine = ::Sass::Engine.new(content, options)
  # ...
  engine.render
end

`Sass::Engine`, in turn, has `:syntax` as an available option.

Problem

In my nanoc site, I want to specify my styles using SCSS: ``` p { em { color: red; } } ``` ... not SASS: ``` p em color: red ``` But if I try using SCSS, I get a compile error from the SASS filter. How do I get it to use SCSS?
