+# Sass
+
+**Sass makes CSS fun again**. Sass is an extension of CSS3,
+adding nested rules, variables, mixins, selector inheritance, and more.
+It's translated to well-formatted, standard CSS
+using the command line tool or a web-framework plugin.
+
+Sass has two syntaxes. The new main syntax (as of Sass 3)
+is known as "SCSS" (for "Sassy CSS"),
+and is a superset of CSS3's syntax.
+This means that every valid CSS3 stylesheet is valid SCSS as well.
+SCSS files use the extension `.scss`.
+
+The second, older syntax is known as the indented syntax (or just "Sass").
+Inspired by Haml's terseness, it's intended for people
+who prefer conciseness over similarity to CSS.
+Instead of brackets and semicolons,
+it uses the indentation of lines to specify blocks.
+Although no longer the primary syntax,
+the indented syntax will continue to be supported.
+Files in the indented syntax use the extension `.sass`.
