Stylus Best Practices

Introduction

This is a curated set of conventions and best practices for Stylus, an expressive, dynamic, robust and advanced CSS preprocessor. Frustrated with there not being a set of conventions set in place (that could be easily found), I set forth to find out on my own.

ExpressionEngine .htaccess/Apache conf

Please use these at your own risk. I cannot be responsible for having no idea what I am doing and breaking your server.

This is a collection of Apache configuration settings that I use in my ExpressionEngine projects. Since I have always been a big fan of the HTML5 Boilerplate I took inspiration from their .htaccess file and tweaked my configuration with other settings I have used over the years.

This gist contains:

_EXTENDED.htaccess This is a general .htaccess file I rename and edit as needed for each site. Note: When I host a site on my prad/stage/dev servers I move most or all of these rules into the vhost.conf file
_SAMPLE.httpd.conf I use Ubuntu on my development, staging, and production servers so this is specific to Apache 2 on my setup. Essentially this file extends the apache2.conf (in my setup).

	{# settings #}
	{% set suffix = append\|default('...') %}
	{% set punctuation = ['.',',','-',':',';'] %}
	{# logic #}
	{% set array = text\|split(' ') %}
	{% set arrayTruncated = array\|slice(0, limit) %}
	{% set string = arrayTruncated\|join(' ') %}
	{% if limit and array\|length > limit %}
	{% for mark in punctuation %}
