Quick Hits: Sass demands syntax perfection!

Just a quick note about sass.  Let’s say you had the following in /public/stylesheets/sass/foo.sass:

body
  line-height:1.2em

h1
  color:red

This would render a blank document for /public/stylesheets/foo.css.  You won’t get an error about it, you’ll just get a blank document.  Here’s the thing, when you’re declaring a CSS property, you MUST put a space after the colon.  Failing to do so will just wind up in parsing errors on the sass side.

I hope I’ve saved you some head scratching.
