+Transpile Sass to CSS using the LibSass transpiler included in Hugo's extended edition, or [install Dart Sass](#dart-sass) to use the latest features of the Sass language.
+
+Sass has two forms of syntax: [SCSS] and [indented]. Hugo supports both.
+
+[scss]: https://sass-lang.com/documentation/syntax#scss
+[indented]: https://sass-lang.com/documentation/syntax#the-indented-syntax
+
+## Options
+
+transpiler
+: (`string`) The transpiler to use, either `libsass` (default) or `dartsass`. Hugo's extended edition includes the LibSass transpiler. To use the Dart Sass transpiler, see the [installation instructions](#dart-sass) below.
+
+targetPath
+: (`string`) If not set, the transformed resource's target path will be the original path of the asset file with its extension replaced by `.css`.
+
+vars
+: (`map`) A map of key/value pairs that will be available in the `hugo:vars` namespace. Useful for [initializing Sass variables from Hugo templates](https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/42053/).
+
+```scss
+// LibSass
+@import "hugo:vars";
+
+// Dart Sass
+@use "hugo:vars" as v;
+```
+
+outputStyle
+: (`string`) Output styles available to LibSass include `nested` (default), `expanded`, `compact`, and `compressed`. Output styles available to Dart Sass include `expanded` (default) and `compressed`.
+
+precision
+: (`int`) Precision of floating point math. Not applicable to Dart Sass.
+
+enableSourceMap
+: (`bool`) If `true`, generates a source map.
+
+sourceMapIncludeSources
+: (`bool`) If `true`, embeds sources in the generated source map. Not applicable to LibSass.
+
+includePaths
+: (`slice`) A slice of paths, relative to the project root, that the transpiler will use when resolving `@use` and `@import` statements.
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ $opts := dict
+ "transpiler" "dartsass"
+ "targetPath" "css/style.css"
+ "vars" site.Params.styles
+ "enableSourceMap" (not hugo.IsProduction)
+ "includePaths" (slice "node_modules/bootstrap/scss")
+}}
+{{ with resources.Get "sass/main.scss" | toCSS $opts | minify | fingerprint }}
+ <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ .RelPermalink }}" integrity="{{ .Data.Integrity }}" crossorigin="anonymous">
+{{ end }}
+```
+
+## Dart Sass
+
+The extended version of Hugo includes [LibSass] to transpile Sass to CSS. In 2020, the Sass team deprecated LibSass in favor of [Dart Sass].
+
+Use the latest features of the Sass language by installing Dart Sass in your development and production environments.
+
+### Installation overview
+
+Dart Sass is compatible with Hugo v0.114.0 and later.
+
+If you have been using Embedded Dart Sass[^1] with Hugo v0.113.0 and earlier, uninstall Embedded Dart Sass, then install Dart Sass. If you have installed both, Hugo will use Dart Sass.
+
+If you install Hugo as a [Snap package] there is no need to install Dart Sass. The Hugo Snap package includes Dart Sass.
+
+[^1]: In 2023, the Sass team deprecated Embedded Dart Sass in favor of Dart Sass.
+
+### Installing in a development environment
+
+When you install Dart Sass somewhere in your PATH, Hugo will find it.
+
+OS|Package manager|Site|Installation
+:--|:--|:--|:--
+Linux|Homebrew|[brew.sh]|`brew install sass/sass/sass`
+Linux|Snap|[snapcraft.io]|`sudo snap install dart-sass`
+macOS|Homebrew|[brew.sh]|`brew install sass/sass/sass`
+Windows|Chocolatey|[chocolatey.org]|`choco install sass`
+Windows|Scoop|[scoop.sh]|`scoop install sass`
+
+You may also install [prebuilt binaries] for Linux, macOS, and Windows.
+
+Run `hugo env` to list the active transpilers.
+
+### Installing in a production environment
+
+For [CI/CD] deployments (e.g., GitHub Pages, GitLab Pages, Netlify, etc.) you must edit the workflow to install Dart Sass before Hugo builds the site[^2]. Some providers allow you to use one of the package managers above, or you can download and extract one of the prebuilt binaries.
+
+[^2]: You do not have to do this if (a) you have not modified the assets cache location, and (b) you have not set `useResourceCacheWhen` to `never` in your [site configuration], and (c) you add and commit your resources directory to your repository.
+
+#### GitHub Pages
+
+To install Dart Sass for your builds on GitHub Pages, add this step to the GitHub Pages workflow file:
+
+```yaml
+- name: Install Dart Sass
+ run: sudo snap install dart-sass
+```
+
+If you are using GitHub Pages for the first time with your repository, GitHub provides a [starter workflow] for Hugo that includes Dart Sass. This is the simplest way to get started.
+
+#### GitLab Pages
+
+To install Dart Sass for your builds on GitLab Pages, the `.gitlab-ci.yml` file should look something like this:
+
+```yaml
+variables:
+ HUGO_VERSION: 0.115.1
+ DART_SASS_VERSION: 1.63.6
+ GIT_DEPTH: 0
+ GIT_STRATEGY: clone
+ GIT_SUBMODULE_STRATEGY: recursive
+ TZ: America/Los_Angeles
+image:
+ name: golang:1.20-buster
+pages:
+ script:
+ # Install Dart Sass
+ - curl -LJO https://github.com/sass/dart-sass/releases/download/${DART_SASS_VERSION}/dart-sass-${DART_SASS_VERSION}-linux-x64.tar.gz
+ - tar -xf dart-sass-${DART_SASS_VERSION}-linux-x64.tar.gz
+ - cp -r dart-sass/* /usr/local/bin
+ - rm -rf dart-sass*
+ # Install Hugo
+ - curl -LJO https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/download/v${HUGO_VERSION}/hugo_extended_${HUGO_VERSION}_linux-amd64.deb
+ - apt install -y ./hugo_extended_${HUGO_VERSION}_linux-amd64.deb
+ - rm hugo_extended_${HUGO_VERSION}_linux-amd64.deb
+ # Build
+ - hugo --gc --minify
+ artifacts:
+ paths:
+ - public
+ rules:
+ - if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == $CI_DEFAULT_BRANCH
+```
+
+#### Netlify
+
+To install Dart Sass for your builds on Netlify, the `netlify.toml` file should look something like this:
+
+```toml
+[build.environment]
+HUGO_VERSION = "0.115.1"
+DART_SASS_VERSION = "1.63.6"
+TZ = "America/Los_Angeles"
+
+[build]
+publish = "public"
+command = """\
+ curl -LJO https://github.com/sass/dart-sass/releases/download/${DART_SASS_VERSION}/dart-sass-${DART_SASS_VERSION}-linux-x64.tar.gz && \
+ tar -xf dart-sass-${DART_SASS_VERSION}-linux-x64.tar.gz && \
+ rm dart-sass-${DART_SASS_VERSION}-linux-x64.tar.gz && \
+ export PATH=/opt/build/repo/dart-sass:$PATH && \
+ hugo --gc --minify \
+ """
+```
+
+### Example
+
+To transpile with Dart Sass, set `transpiler` to `dartsass` in the options map passed to `resources.ToCSS`. For example:
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ with resources.Get "sass/main.scss" }}
+ {{ $opts := dict "transpiler" "dartsass" "targetPath" "css/style.css" }}
+ {{ with . | toCSS $opts }}
+ {{ if hugo.IsDevelopment }}
+ <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ .RelPermalink }}">
+ {{ else }}
+ {{ with . | minify | fingerprint }}
+ <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ .RelPermalink }}" integrity="{{ .Data.Integrity }}" crossorigin="anonymous">
+ {{ end }}
+ {{ end }}
+ {{ end }}
+{{ end }}
+```
+
+### Miscellaneous
+
+If you build Hugo from source and run `mage test -v`, the test will fail if you install Dart Sass as a Snap package. This is due to the Snap package's strict confinement model.
