Selector Inheritance
While CSS3 supports the Document Object Model (DOM) hierarchy, it does not allow selector inheritance. Inheritance is done by inserting a line inside of a code block that uses the @extend keyword and references another selector. The extended selector's attributes are applied to the calling selector.
.error { border: 1px #f00; background: #fdd; } .error.intrusion { font-size: 1.3em; font-weight: bold; } .badError { @extend .error; border-width: 3px; }Would compile to:
.error, .badError { border: 1px #f00; background: #fdd; } .error.intrusion, .badError.intrusion { font-size: 1.3em; font-weight: bold; } .badError { border-width: 3px; }Sass supports multiple inheritance.

Famous quotes containing the word inheritance:
“Late in the afternoon we passed a man on the shore fishing with a long birch pole.... The characteristics and pursuits of various ages and races of men are always existing in epitome in every neighborhood. The pleasures of my earliest youth have become the inheritance of other men. This man is still a fisher, and belongs to an era in which I myself have lived.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
