# A Jekyll plugin to convert .styl to .css
# This plugin requires the stylus gem, do:
# $ [sudo] gem install stylus

# See _config.yml above for configuration options.

# Caveats:
# 1. Files intended for conversion must have empty YAML front matter a the top.
#    See all.styl above.
# 2. You can not @import .styl files intended to be converted.
#    See all.styl and individual.styl above.

A project I'm working on, a tool that converts stylus into sass or less or other precompiled CSS.

Thanks for this. I'm using this on a Jekyll blog. I couldn't get it working but then I realized my mistake... I was putting my main.styl inside my _styl folder. I created a css folder and moved main.styl into that and left all the other individual stylus partial files inside _styl and it worked :)
