PostCSS HTML Syntax
PostCSS syntax for parsing HTML (and HTML-like)
Getting Started
First thing's first, install the module:
npm install postcss-syntax postcss-html --save-dev
If you want support SCSS/SASS/LESS/SugarSS syntax, you need to install the corresponding module.
- SCSS: postcss-scss
- SASS: postcss-sass
- LESS: postcss-less
- SugarSS: sugarss
Use Cases
const postcss = require('postcss');
const syntax = require('postcss-html')({
// syntax for parse scss (non-required options)
scss: require('postcss-scss'),
// syntax for parse less (non-required options)
less: require('postcss-less'),
// syntax for parse css blocks (non-required options)
css: require('postcss-safe-parser'),
});
postcss(plugins).process(source, { syntax: syntax }).then(function (result) {
// An alias for the result.css property. Use it with syntaxes that generate non-CSS output.
result.content
});
If you want support SCSS/SASS/LESS/SugarSS syntax, you need to install these module:
- SCSS: postcss-scss
- SASS: postcss-sass
- LESS: postcss-less
- SugarSS: sugarss

Turning PostCSS off from within your HTML
PostCSS can be temporarily turned off by using special comments in your HTML. For example:
<html>
<body>
<!-- postcss-disable -->
<a style="color: red;"></a>
<!-- postcss-enable -->
Style Transformations
The main use case of this plugin is to apply PostCSS transformations to <style>
tags and <div style="*">
property in HTML (and HTML-like).
