New versions equivalent to the "mixins" directory in the old version #18

In the old version there was a mixins directory which contained a whole bunch of mixins, or you could add your own.

What is the equivalent in the new version?

I'm aiming to keep all the 'framework' type of things out of this Scaffold repo. I've got a second repo setup where I'm going to put all the mixins and other CSS files. This is just the core which does the processing, the framework will be something a bit different.

Alright sweet. If you post back when that other repo is all fine and dandy that'll be sweet. Keep up the good work.

Also interested. :)

@anthony: what will the framework include that the extensions library won't?

Well, I was planning on doing something a bit more robust than just a mixins directory. Basically creating an entire boilerplate library using Scaffold/Sass. This includes mixins, resets, variables, settings all using the new tools available.

(That's the same as the second link above, just renamed)

Here's some examples:

Design/Theme settings

Using variables to create a type stylesheet

Creating a framework folder that includes mixins/variables/etc
http://github.com/anthonyshort/Foundation-CSS-Framework/tree/master/src/modules/framework/

You use the whole lot by just navigating to the folder. In my local case its:

http://local.anthonyshort.com.au/stylesheets/

I'm definitely keen to see how other people are using tools like Scaffold and Sass too.
