Use gulp-ruby-sass about sc5-styleguide

[hannu]

Yes. It is possible to use gulp-ruby-sass but unfortunately it needs changes in the library. We will investigate if there are any problems, it's probably a simple change.

Furthermore, we are planning to remove whole style preprocessing flow from the style guide. This would improve flexibility and gives freedom to choose which library to use for preprocessing.

I just quickly looked into changing to gulp-ruby-sass. It seems gulp-ruby-sass 1.0.0 will not support globbing, so it would also need a change in the configuration of sc5. I guess as you mentioned the better solution would be to just completely remove the preprocessing. So everybody can choose there own way and sc5 does not need to change every time a prepocessor changes how it works.

0.3.0 (currently work in progress) does not have integrated preprecessing. The styleguide API will look like following (or very similar)

var outputPath = 'output';

gulp.task('styleguide:generate', function() {
  return gulp.src('*.scss')
    .pipe(styleguide.generate({
        title: 'My styleguide',
        server: true,
        rootPath: outputPath,
        overviewPath: 'README.md'
      }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest(outputPath));
});

gulp.task('styleguide:applystyles', function() {
  return gulp.src('main.scss')
    .pipe(sass())
    .pipe(styleguide.applyStyles())
    .pipe(gulp.dest(outputPath));
});

gulp.task('styleguide', ['styleguide:generate', 'styleguide:applystyles']);

Even though it will be possible to use any preprocessing library we will still support variable parsing only from SASS and LESS files.
