vim does not approve of your compass spriting . 06/29/2013

Compass provides a really cool way to generate sprites from a directory full of images - http://compass-style.org/help/tutorials/spriting/. This is pretty much all it takes:

1
2

@import "my-icons/*.png";
@include all-my-icons-sprites;

Unfortunately for Vim users, part of the first line is confused to be the beginning of a CSS comment :\

This obviously won't do. Lucky for us, editing the logic of Vim's syntax highlighting logic is pretty easy. Scriptease.vim provides some cool commands that help deal with runtime files. :Vedit is the one we need here.

1

:Vedit syntax/sass.vim

Search for this line:

1

syn region sassInclude start="@import" end=";\|$" contains=scssComment,cssURL,cssUnicodeEscape,cssMediaType

Change it to this:

1

syn region sassInclude start="@import" end=";\|$" contains=cssURL,cssUnicodeEscape,cssMediaType

Basically the scssComment syntax match statement is the problem. Remove it and your SCSS files with Compass Spriting look like they should :D
