title: "@at-root"
introduction: >
The `@at-root` rule is usually written `@at-root <selector> { ... }` and
causes everything within it to be emitted at the root of the document instead
of using the normal nesting. It's most often used when doing [advanced
nesting](../style-rules/parent-selector#advanced-nesting) with the [SassScript
parent selector](../style-rules/parent-selector#in-sassscript) and [selector
functions](../modules/selector).

<%= partial 'code-snippets/example-advanced-nesting' %>
The `@at-root` rule is necessary here because Sass doesn't know what
interpolation was used to generate a selector when it's performing selector
nesting. This means it will automatically add the outer selector to the inner
selector *even if* you used `&` as a SassScript expression. The `@at-root`
explicitly tells Sass not to include the outer selector.
<% fun_fact do %>
The `@at-root` rule can also be written `@at-root { ... }` to put multiple style
rules at the root of the document. In fact, `@at-root <selector> { ... }` is
just a shorthand for `@at-root { <selector> { ... } }`!

## Beyond Style Rules
On its own, `@at-root` only gets rid of [style rules][]. Any at-rules like
[`@media`][] or [`@supports`][] will be left in. If this isn't what you want,
though, you can control exactly what it includes or excludes using syntax like
[media query features][], written `@at-root (with: <rules...>) { ... }` or
`@at-root (without: <rules...>) { ... }`. The `(without: ...)` query tells Sass
which rules should be excluded; the `(with: ...)` query excludes all rules
*except* those that are listed.
[style rules]: ../style-rules
[`@media`]: css#media
[`@supports`]: css#supports

<% example do %>
@media print {
.page {
width: 8in;
@at-root (without: media) {
color: #111;
}
@at-root (with: rule) {
font-size: 1.2em;
}
}
}

@media print
.page
width: 8in
@at-root (without: media)
color: #111
@at-root (with: rule)
font-size: 1.2em
<% end %>
In addition to the names of at-rules, there are two special values that can be
used in queries:
* `rule` refers to style rules. For example, `@at-root (with: rule)` excludes
all at-rules but preserves style rules.
* `all` refers to all at-rules *and* style rules should be excluded.
