# Stylus [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/stylus/stylus.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/stylus/stylus)
 Stylus is a revolutionary new language, providing an efficient, dynamic, and expressive way to generate CSS. Supporting both an indented syntax and regular CSS style.
## Installation
```bash
$ npm install stylus -g
```
## Basic Usage
Watch and compile a stylus file from command line with 
```bash
stylus -w style.styl -o style.css
```
You can also [try all stylus features on stylus-lang.com](http://stylus-lang.com/try.html), build something with stylus on [codepen](http://codepen.io) or integrate stylus with [gulp](http://gulpjs.com/) using [gulp-stylus](https://www.npmjs.com/package/gulp-stylus) or [gulp-accord](https://www.npmjs.com/package/gulp-accord).
### Example
```stylus
border-radius()
  -webkit-border-radius: arguments
  -moz-border-radius: arguments
  border-radius: arguments
body a
  font: 12px/1.4 "Lucida Grande", Arial, sans-serif
  background: black
  color: #ccc
form input
  padding: 5px
  border: 1px solid
  border-radius: 5px
```
compiles to:
```css
body a {
  font: 12px/1.4 "Lucida Grande", Arial, sans-serif;
  background: #000;
  color: #ccc;
}
form input {
  padding: 5px;
  border: 1px solid;
  -webkit-border-radius: 5px;
  -moz-border-radius: 5px;
  border-radius: 5px;
}
```
the following is equivalent to the indented version of Stylus source, using the CSS syntax instead:
```stylus
border-radius() {
  -webkit-border-radius: arguments
  -moz-border-radius: arguments
  border-radius: arguments
}
body a {
  font: 12px/1.4 "Lucida Grande", Arial, sans-serif;
  background: black;
  color: #ccc;
}
form input {
  padding: 5px;
  border: 1px solid;
  border-radius: 5px;
}
```
