I've added support for several of the proposed syntax ideas for CSS
variables to WebKit. They are basically all co-existing side by side
in WebKit right now. The idea is for people to try out test cases to
help get a feel for which syntax works best (or you can just proclaim
which syntax you think is best right now without writing any tests at
all). ;)
For the rules, the following syntax works:
(1)
@-webkit-variables { ... }
@-webkit-variables screen { ... }
(2)
@-webkit-define { ... }
@-webkit-define for screen { ... }
For variable references, the following syntax works:
(1) -webkit-var(foo)
(2) =foo=
(3) $foo
One concern about using a symbol to represent a variable is that there
is no way to vendor-prefix it. Then again, just using a symbol like =
or $ looks nicer than the ugly "-webkit-var" notation.
