processing.
l Using a popular CDN takes advantage of caching - a client having visited another
website using that same CDN will have the file in cache and not re-download it making
for faster load times for the client.
Tip
To refresh the remote resources in a Designer view, use the Refresh option in the menu (View >
Refresh) or the Refresh button at the top of the Workspace.
Using a Sass file
A CSS preprocessor is a CSS extension language that allows you to enhance CSS with code
(variables, for example) and then compile it into plain CSS. CSS Preprocessor Sass is
integrated in Connect.
For more information about Sass, see: Sass website.
For information about working with Sass in the Designer, see "Using a Sass file" on page311.
Styling your templates with CSS files
Note
Email clients do not read CSS files and some even remove a <style> tag when it is present in the
email's header. Nevertheless, CSS files can be used with the Email context in the Designer. When
generating output from the Email context, the Designer processes all CSS rules that apply to the
content of the email to inline style properties, as if local formatting was applied.
