change the output style of sass with web essentials

Question

Is there a way to change the output file style of a scss processed by Web-Essentials in visual-studio 2013 ?

I want to change the output style to one of the sass output style like : :compact, :nested, :compressed, :nested

I found in the options how to specify the output directory, the "with source map files", but no idea how to change the compilation style type...

Answer 1

The outputstyle option was not implemented in Web Essentials.

After having installed the Visual Studio 2013 update 2, I was able to update to Web Essentials 2013 For VS2013 Update 2 and this new version has an option to set the Output Style. All 4 styles are available (nested, expanded, compact, compressed)

Answer 2

Just been looking into this myself.

The setting you are looking for is "OutputStyle": "Expanded", with Expanded being the default.

Unfortunately the precompiler used by Web Essentials (libsass) currently only supports nested and compressed; I was hoping for compact.
