- Hugo v.0.158.0 introduced the css.Build function, offering enhancements for CSS handling but with limitations.
- css.Build enables CSS bundling and minification out-of-the-box, working quickly for development.
- It uses esbuild, with its capabilities and restrictions documented in esbuild's CSS-specific features.
- css.Build may not convert all modern CSS features, requiring post-processing or targeting specific browsers.
- Alternatives include Sass pre-processing, which supports nesting and bundling but no browser-prefixing.
- PostCSS post-processing offers transpilation and minification but is slower due to JavaScript.
- Lightning CSS is fast but requires 'shoehorning' into Hugo and lacks file-watching for development.
