Other

  • csscrush - An extensible PHP based CSS preprocessor
  • PCSS - Shortcut-oriented Server-side CSS3 Preprocessor
    • Pre-defined CSS constants and PCSS functions to make the CSS writing more intuitive and to make the code slimmer and even more readable
    • Class nesting
    • Variables that can hold any kind of data
    • Default unit and default image directory to set for pre-defined functions
    • @font-face shortcut with server-side browser detection for slimmer resulting code
    • Browser-specific shortcuts are detected on server-side to avoid redundant commands (like many "-webkit", "-moz", etc.)
