Style DSL

The Style DSL is used for the design of elements like CSS.

• A defined style can inherit from one or more other styles.
• The attribute description is required (can also be an empty string).
• Colors can be defined as hex-code (e.g. #ff0000) or as color-name (e.g. red).

A style is described with:

style <identifier> extends <identifier, identifier> { [attributes] }
