Hugo's New CSS Powers

SMRTR summary

Hugo v.0.158.0's new css.Build function offers CSS bundling, minification, and some transpilation capabilities directly within Hugo, potentially eliminating the need for external processors like Sass or PostCSS. Built on esbuild, it handles modern CSS features but has limitations with certain newer syntax conversions. While significantly faster than alternatives like PostCSS, developers must evaluate whether css.Build's current transpilation coverage meets their browser compatibility requirements.
