title: Documentation
introduction: >
Sass is a stylesheet language thats compiled to CSS. It allows you to use
[variables](/documentation/variables), [nested
rules](/documentation/style-rules#nesting),
[mixins](/documentation/at-rules/mixin),
[functions](/documentation/modules), and more, all with a fully
CSS-compatible syntax. Sass helps keep large stylesheets well-organized and
makes it easy to share design within and across projects.

* If you're looking for an introduction to Sass, check out [the
tutorial](/guide).
* If you want to look up a built-in Sass function, look no further than [the
built-in module reference](/documentation/modules).
* If you're calling Sass from JavaScript, you may want the [JS API
documentation][js].
* Or the [Dart API documentation][dart] if you're calling it from Dart.
* Otherwise, use the table of contents for the language reference!

## Older Versions
This documentation is written for the most recent version of the Sass language.
If you're using [Dart Sass] <%= impl_version(:dart) %>, you'll have access to
all the features described here. But if you're using an older version of Dart
Sass or a deprecated Sass implementation like [LibSass] or [Ruby Sass], there
may be some behavioral differences.
[Dart Sass]: /dart-sass
[LibSass]: /libsass
[Ruby Sass]: /ruby-sass
Anywhere behavior differs between versions or implementations, the documentation
includes a compatibility indicator like this:
<%= impl_status feature: 'Feature Name', dart: true, libsass: '3.6.0', ruby: false %>
Implementations with a "✓" fully support the feature in question, and
implementations with a "✗" don't support it all. Implementations with a version
number started supporting the feature in question at that version.
Implementations can also be marked as "partial":
<% impl_status dart: true, libsass: :partial, ruby: false do %>
Additional details go here.
<% end %>
This indicates that the implementation only supports some aspects of the
feature. These compatibility indicators (and many others) have a "▶" button,
which can be clicked to show more details about exactly how the implementations
differ and which versions support which aspects of the feature in question.
