How do I use single-text-shadow?

[JamesTheHacker]

I've been trying for the past 30 minutes to get single-text-shadow to work to no avail.

Are there any examples on correct usage? I've seen the example on the compass docs that uses default values, but I want to pass the data directly to the method.

The following doesn't appear to work:

@include single-text-shadow(1px, 1px, 2px, $color: black);

@JamesTheHacker Compass is no longer supported use node-sass instead.

Node Sass is great, but not actually a replacement for Compass. The closest successor would be Eyeglass — which does not include the CSS3 mixin library. I'd recommend using Auto-Prefixer instead.

@mirisuzanne, Please review most of the issues and inform users that Compass is not being supported and offer them alternatives, there are too many open issues and no one is there to inform them.

@mirisuzanne I'll try both, thanks. Why is Compass no longer active?

[JamesVanWaza]

@JamesTheHacker because better tools have emerged to do the job such as Node-Sass, Susy, Bourbon

@jgacuca567 Makes sense. PostCSS and it's plugins are amazing! I created a CSS build tool that's able to replace my previous setup with sass and compass: Simplex.
