"Css Pretty" is a handy Vim plugin that allows users to prettify any CSS file for better readability. It provides enhanced formatting and indentation, making the coding process easier and error-free.
For those unfamiliar with CSS, it is a stylesheet language primarily used in web development to describe the presentation of a document written in a markup language such as HTML or XHTML. It defines the color, font, layout, and other aspects of document presentation. The language can be applied to any kind of XML document, including SVG and XUL.
One of CSS's primary goals is to separate the content of a document from its presentation, improving content accessibility and reducing complexity in the structural content. It also allows for the same markup page to be presented in different styles for different rendering methods.
CSS implements a priority scheme to determine which style rules apply if more than one rule matches against a particular element. This cascade prioritizes and assigns weights to rules, ensuring that the results are predictable.
In addition to understanding CSS, using Css Pretty requires familiarity with Vim. Vim is a powerful, text-based editor that was first released in 1991 for the Amiga computer. Vim was designed as an extended version of the vi editor, with additional features that make it helpful for editing program source code.
Despite being cross-platform, Vim is most popular on Unix-like operating systems. Released under a license compatible with the GNU General Public License and possible charityware clauses, Vim is free and open source software. Its interface is based on text commands, with gVim adding menus and toolbars for commonly used commands, but the full functionality is still best expressed through the command line mode.
