What would a preprocessor be without imports? Of course liten supports them! And it's clever too.

Imports are defined using @import statements like so: @import "head". In this particular case liten will search for "head" in the directory where the current file (which is doing the import) is located. You don't even have to type "head.liten". liten will do that for you!

mixins.liten:

=bold($text)
  strong:$text

Input:

@import "mixins"

html
  body
    +bold("foo")
    +bold("bar")

Output:

<html>
  <body>
    <strong>foo</strong>
    <strong>bar</strong>
  </body>
</html>

Imports are included directly where you place them making it easy to include a set of variablesor an external set of liten files within a local scope.

@import "my_global_things"

html
  head
    title:$TITLE_FROM_MY_GLOBAL_THINGS
    @import "FacebookMetaData"
  body
    @import "page_body"
