Hi Guys,

The css.jsf packaged with 3.5 was a bit deficient and buggy. Below you can find an enhanced version of the css.jsf that highlights the more complex CSS that has become quite common. It will break down subcomponents of declarations. It also fixes comments within styles and withing they value assignments.

Cheers,
Rob.

I recommend you post this in the Patches section.  There you can attach the file, which will preserve the spacing, unlike this forum.  Also, Marius Feraru (altblue) already posted an enhanced CSS syntax file there.  I recommend you merge the changes that each of you made and submit the resulting file.  In the description, say that you incorporated Marius Feraru's changes if you included them all.  He described his changes as hacks, so you might want to verify and clean up his work (assuming you know what you are doing any better than he does).
