## CSS Style Stylus transparently supports a regular CSS-style syntax. This means you don't need an alternative parser, or specify that a certain file uses a specific style. ### Example Below is a small style using the indented approach: 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 Since braces, colons, and semi-colons are optional, we could write this example just as we would with normal CSS: 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; } Since we may mix and match the two variants, the following is valid as well: 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; Variables, functions, mixins, and all the other features provided by Stylus still work as expected: main-color = white main-hover-color = black body a { color: main-color; &:hover { color: main-hover-color; } } body a { color: main-color; &:hover { color: main-hover-color; }} There are a few caveats to this rule: since the two styles may be mixed and matched, some indentation rules still apply. So although not _every_ plain-CSS stylesheet will work with zero modification, this feature allows those who prefer CSS syntax to continue doing so while leveraging Stylus' other powerful features.
