      %li Compass mixins make CSS3 easy.
      %li Download and create extensions with ease.
  .sass
    %h4 Compass uses Sass.
    %p
      <a href="http://sass-lang.com/">Sass</a> is an extension of CSS3 which
      adds nested rules, variables, mixins, selector inheritance, and more.
      Sass generates well formatted CSS and makes your stylesheets
      easier to organize and maintain.
