Grunt-DSS

Grunt-DSS is a Grunt plugin that generates UI documentation from CSS, Less, Stylus, Sass files based on the DSS parser output.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.0

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-dss --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-dss');

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named dss to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().
