div.hilite2 { color: #fea300;}

Mixins

/* ZUSS */
@border_radious(@radius: 4px) {

}

div.rounded {
  @border_radious();
}
button.rounded {
  @border_radious(3px);
}

/* CSS */
div.rounded {
  border-radius: 4px;
}
button.rounded {
  border-radius: 3px;
}

Nested Rules

    float: left; 
  }
  .top {
    margin: 5px; 
  }
}

  margin: 5px;
}

div {
  color: @darken(@nice_grey);
}

/* CSS */
div {
  color: #525252;
}

Conditional Content

Include

/* ZUSS */
.box_shadow (@x: 0, @y: 0, @blur: 1px, @color: #000) {
  box-shadow: @arguments;
  @if (@gecko < 5) {
    -moz-box-shadow: @arguments;
  } @elif (@webkit) {
    -webkit-box-shadow: @arguments;
  }
}

/* ZUSS */
@include another.zuss;

Download

Download the binary distribution from here
Get zuss.jar under the dist/lib directory of the binary distribution^[1]

↑ If you'd like to debug with the source code of ZUSS with IDE, you could get zuss-sources.jar under the dist/src directory.

Servlet Usage

Copy zuss.jar to the WEB-INF/lib directory
Add the following content to WEB-INF/web.xml

	<servlet>
		<servlet-name>ZUSS</servlet-name>
		<servlet-class>org.zkoss.zuss.ZussServlet</servlet-class>
	</servlet>
	<servlet-mapping>
		<servlet-name>ZUSS</servlet-name>
		<url-pattern>*.zuss</url-pattern>
	</servlet-mapping>

For the configuration of the ZUSS servlet, please refer to the ZussServlet (JavaDoc could be downloaded from here).

Command-line Usage

You could invoke the ZUSS compiler from the command-line.

java -jar zuss.jar foo.zuss

For a synopsis of standard options:

java -jar zuss.jar foo.zuss -h

Java Usage

The utilities to compile ZUSS can be found in Zuss. The parse methods are used to parse a variable input source into an immediate format. The translate methods are used to translate the immediate format to CSS.

If your ZUSS file is dynamical, you could store the immediate format and then translate to CSS with an optional variables and function resolver (called Resolver).

Bug Reports and Feature Requests

Please post and follow the issues at GitHub.
