frameworks by passing a directory that contains those frameworks. Each
framework can choose to adhere to the naming convention of providing a
'stylesheets' directory and a 'templates' directory, or it can register
itself by providing a ruby file at one of the following locations:
<plugin>/compass_init.rb
<plugin>/lib/<plugin>.rb
<plugin>/<plugin>.rb
The first file found in the above order will be required. The framework
should register itself there using the Compass::Frameworks.register method.
Since this requires the installation of an additional xml file for
firefox support, it is provided as a pattern.
To install:
compass -p ellipsis
To use:
Mix +ellipsis into a selector targeting the textual element that will
truncate via ellipsis. By default, ellipsis text is set tono-wrap. Pass
false as the first argument if you don't want that.
Note:
Firefox is the lame browser in this respect, it requires a lot of bending
over backwards and has many quirky behaviors. Please read the blog post at
http://mattsnider.com/css/css-string-truncation-with-ellipsis/ for a full
explanation of the issues. Also note that ellipsis text is white-space
sensitive in Firefox, an issue that is sure to affect Haml users more than
most.
To perform a reset, simply @import compass/reset.sass
To perform a selective reset, you should @import compass/utilities/general/reset.sass which will provide
reset mixins without defining any css rules.
