Closure Stylesheets

This project is officially end-of-life. Users are welcome to maintain it in a fork, but there will be no more Google-authored changes published. While Closure Stylesheets was ahead of its time when it was first released in 2011, it has since been outpaced by much more active projects with wider community support. Even within Google, we're working on moving all CSS compilation infrastructure to a combination of Sass and PostCSS plugins, including Autoprefixer , RTLCSS , cssnano , postcss-rename , Stylelint , and a few internal plugins that we hope to one day share with the world. Custom properties and calc() are excellent standard CSS options that are widely supported in modern browsers.

Closure Stylesheets

Closure Stylesheets is an extension to CSS that adds variables , functions , conditionals , and mixins to standard CSS. The tool also supports minification , linting , RTL flipping , and CSS class renaming .

Get Closure Stylesheets!

Closure Stylesheets is available as a Java jar named closure-stylesheets.jar . You can either download a precompiled jar or build it from source .

Using Closure Stylesheets requires Java. To make sure that Java is installed correctly, try running the following command to print the list of command-line options for Closure Stylesheets:

 java -jar closure-stylesheets.jar --help

CSS Extensions

Internally at Google, Closure Stylesheets are frequently referred to as "Google Stylesheets" or "GSS", so you will see references to GSS in the source code . Some developers prefer to be explicit about which files use the Closure Stylesheets extensions to CSS by using a .gss file extension.

Variables

Variables can be defined in Closure Stylesheets using @def followed by a variable name and then a value. Variables can also be defined in terms of other variables. Consider the following file, variable-example.gss :

 @def 
BG_COLOR              rgb(235 , 
239 , 
249); @def 
DIALOG_BORDER_COLOR   rgb(107 , 
144 , 
218); @def 
DIALOG_BG_COLOR       BG_COLOR; body 
{ background-color 
 : 
BG_COLOR;
}

. dialog 
{ background-color 
 : 
DIALOG_BG_COLOR; border 
 : 
 1 px 
 
solid DIALOG_BORDER_COLOR;
}

Running java -jar closure-stylesheets.jar --pretty-print variable-example.gss will print:

 body 
{ background-color 
 : 
  # 
ebeff9 
;
}
. dialog 
{ background-color 
 : 
  # 
ebeff9 
; border 
 : 
 1 px 
 
solid  # 
6b90da 
;
}

Functions

Closure Stylesheets provides support for several arithmetic functions:

add()
sub()
mult()
divide()
min()
max()

Each of these functions can take a variable number arguments. Arguments may be purely numeric or CSS sizes with units (though mult() and divide() only allow the first argument to have a unit). When units such as px are specified as part of an argument, all arguments to the function must have the same unit. That is, you may do add(3px, 5px) or add(3ex, 5ex) , but you cannot do add(3px, 5ex) . Here is an example of when it might be helpful to use add() :

 @def 
LEFT_HAND_NAV_WIDTH    180px; @def 
LEFT_HAND_NAV_PADDING  3px;

. left_hand_nav 
{ position 
 : 
absolute; width 
 : 
LEFT_HAND_NAV_WIDTH; padding 
 : 
LEFT_HAND_NAV_PADDING;
}

. content 
{ position 
 : 
absolute; margin-left 
 : 
 add 
(LEFT_HAND_NAV_PADDING , 
 /* padding left */ 
LEFT_HAND_NAV_WIDTH , 
LEFT_HAND_NAV_PADDING); /* padding right */ 
}

Running java -jar closure-stylesheets.jar --pretty-print functions-example.gss will print:

. left_hand_nav 
{ position 
 : 
absolute; width 
 : 
 180 px 
 
; padding 
 : 
 3 px 
 
;
}
. content 
{ position 
 : 
absolute; margin-left 
 : 
 186 px 
 
;
}

Although these functions are not as full-featured as CSS3 calc() because they do not allow you to mix units as calc() does, they can still help produce more maintainable stylesheets.

There are also built-in functions that deal with colors. For now, you need to see the code for details, but here are the functions and the arguments that they take:

blendColorsHsb(startColor, endColor) blends using HSB values
blendColorsRgb(startColor, endColor) blends using RGB values
makeMutedColor(backgroundColor, foregroundColor [, saturationLoss])
addHsbToCssColor(baseColor, hueToAdd, saturationToAdd, brightnessToAdd)
makeContrastingColor(color, similarityIndex)
adjustBrightness(color, brightness)
saturateColor(color, saturationToAdd) increase saturation in HSL color space
desaturateColor(color, saturationToRemove) decrease saturation in HSL color space
greyscale(color) full desaturation of a color in HSL color space
lighten(color, lightnessToAdd) increase the lightness in HSL color space
darken(color, lightnessToRemove) decrease the lightness in HSL color space
spin(color, hueAngle) increase or decrease hue of the color, like rotating in a color wheel

There is also a selectFrom() function that behaves like the ternary operator:

 /* Implies MYDEF = FOO ? BAR : BAZ; */ 
 @def 
MYDEF selectFrom(FOO , 
BAR , 
BAZ);

This could be used with @def FOO true; to have the effect of @def MYDEF = BAR .

It is also possible to define your own functions in Java by implementing GssFunctionMapProvider and passing the fully-qualified class name to Closure Stylesheets via the --gss-function-map-provider flag. If you choose to do this, you will likely want to compose DefaultGssFunctionMapProvider so that your GssFunctionMapProvider provides your custom functions in addition to the built-in arithmetic functions.

Mixins

Mixins make it possible to reuse a list of parameterized declarations. A mixin definition ( @defmixin ) can be seen as a function with arguments that contains a list of declarations. At the place where a mixin is used ( @mixin ), the values for the arguments are defined and the declarations are inserted. A mixin can be used in any place where declarations are allowed.

The names of the arguments in the @defmixin declaration must be all uppercase.

Global constants defined with @def can be used in combination with mixins. They can be used both within the definition of a mixin, or as an argument when using a mixin.

For example, consider defining a mixin in mixin-simple-example.gss that could be used to create a shorthand for declaring the dimensions of an element:

 @defmixin 
size(WIDTH , 
HEIGHT) { width 
 : 
WIDTH; height 
 : 
HEIGHT;
}

. logo 
{ @mixin 
 size 
( 150 px 
 
 , 
 55 px 
 
); background-image 
 : 
 url 
( 'http://www.google.com/images/logo_sm.gif' 
);
}

Running java -jar closure-stylesheets.jar --pretty-print mixin-simple-example.gss prints:

. logo 
{ width 
 : 
 150 px 
 
; height 
 : 
 55 px 
 
; background-image 
 : 
 url 
( 'http://www.google.com/images/logo_sm.gif' 
);
}

Mixins are even more compelling when you consider using them to abstract away cross-browser behavior for styles such as gradients:

 @defmixin 
gradient(POS , 
HSL1 , 
HSL2 , 
HSL3 , 
COLOR , 
FALLBACK_COLOR) { background-color 
 : 
FALLBACK_COLOR; /* fallback color if gradients are not supported */ 
 background-image 
 : 
 -webkit-linear-gradient 
(POS , 
 hsl 
(HSL1 , 
HSL2 , 
HSL3) , 
COLOR); /* Chrome 10+,Safari 5.1+ */ 
 /* @alternate */ 
 background-image 
 : 
 -moz-linear-gradient 
(POS , 
 hsl 
(HSL1 , 
HSL2 , 
HSL3) , 
COLOR); /* FF3.6+ */ 
 /* @alternate */ 
 background-image 
 : 
 -ms-linear-gradient 
(POS , 
 hsl 
(HSL1 , 
HSL2 , 
HSL3) , 
COLOR); /* IE10 */ 
 /* @alternate */ 
 background-image 
 : 
 -o-linear-gradient 
(POS , 
 hsl 
(HSL1 , 
HSL2 , 
HSL3) , 
COLOR); /* Opera 11.10+ */ 
}

. header 
{ @mixin 
 gradient 
(top , 
 0 % 
 
 , 
 50 % 
 
 , 
 70 % 
 
 , 
  # 
cc0000 
 , 
  # 
f07575 
);
}

The above is compiled to:

. header 
{ background-color 
 : 
  # 
f07575 
; background-image 
 : 
 -webkit-linear-gradient 
(top , 
 hsl 
( 0 % 
 
 , 
 50 % 
 
 , 
 70 % 
 
) , 
  # 
cc0000 
); background-image 
 : 
 -moz-linear-gradient 
(top , 
 hsl 
( 0 % 
 
 , 
 50 % 
 
 , 
 70 % 
 
) , 
  # 
cc0000 
); background-image 
 : 
 -ms-linear-gradient 
(top , 
 hsl 
( 0 % 
 
 , 
 50 % 
 
 , 
 70 % 
 
) , 
  # 
cc0000 
); background-image 
 : 
 -o-linear-gradient 
(top , 
 hsl 
( 0 % 
 
 , 
 50 % 
 
 , 
 70 % 
 
) , 
  # 
cc0000 
);
}

See the section on linting for more details on the @alternate annotation.

Conditionals

Variables can be defined using conditionals with @if , @elseif , and @else . The following is a real-world example adapted from the Closure Library , which defines a cross-browser CSS class to apply the style display: inline-block . The Closure Library example uses browser hacks to define .goog-inline-block , but it can be done explicitly in Closure Stylesheets by using conditionals as shown in conditionals-example.gss :

 @if 
(BROWSER_IE) { @if 
(BROWSER_IE6) { @def 
GOOG_INLINE_BLOCK_DISPLAY  inline;
  } @elseif 
(BROWSER_IE7) { @def 
GOOG_INLINE_BLOCK_DISPLAY  inline;
  } @else 
{ @def 
GOOG_INLINE_BLOCK_DISPLAY  inline-block;
  }
} @elseif 
(BROWSER_FF2) { @def 
GOOG_INLINE_BLOCK_DISPLAY    -moz-inline-box;
} @else 
{ @def 
GOOG_INLINE_BLOCK_DISPLAY    inline-block;
}

. goog-inline-block 
{ position 
 : 
relative; display 
 : 
GOOG_INLINE_BLOCK_DISPLAY;
}

Values for the conditionals can be set via a --define flag. By default, all conditional variables are assumed to be false, so running java -jar closure-stylesheets.jar --pretty-print conditionals-example.gss will print:

. goog-inline-block 
{ position 
 : 
relative; display 
 : 
inline-block;
}

whereas java -jar closure-stylesheets.jar --define BROWSER_FF2 --pretty-print conditionals-example.gss will print:

. goog-inline-block 
{ position 
 : 
relative; display 
 : 
-moz-inline-box;
}

It is also possible to specify the --define flag multiple times, so java -jar closure-stylesheets.jar --define BROWSER_IE --define BROWSER_IE6 --pretty-print conditionals-example.gss will print:

. goog-inline-block 
{ position 
 : 
relative; display 
 : 
inline;
}

Admittedly, to get the benefit of serving the CSS specific to a particular user agent, one must generate a separate stylesheet for each user agent and then serve it appropriately.

Additional Features

The Closure Stylesheets tool also offers some features that are not extensions to CSS.

Minification

You can concatenate and minify a list of stylesheets with the following command:

 java -jar closure-stylesheets.jar input1.css input2.css input3.css

This will print the minified output to standard out. You can also specify a file to write the output to using the --output-file option:

 java -jar closure-stylesheets.jar --output-file output.css input1.css input2.css input3.css

Of course, the > operator also works just as well:

 java -jar closure-stylesheets.jar input1.css input2.css input3.css > output.css

If you would like to create a vendor-specific stylesheet, you can use the --vendor flag. Current recognized vendors are: WEBKIT , MOZILLA , OPERA , MICROSOFT , and KONQUEROR . When this flag is present, all vendor-specific properties for other vendors will be removed.

Linting

Closure Stylesheets performs some static checks on your CSS. For example, its most basic function is to ensure that your CSS parses: if there are any parse errors, Closure Stylesheets will print the errors to standard error and return with an exit code of 1.

`--allowed-non-standard-function` , `--allow-unrecognized-functions`

It will also error out when there are unrecognized function names or duplicate style declarations. For example, if you ran Closure Stylesheets on linting-example.gss :

. logo 
{ width 
 : 
 150 px 
 
; height 
 : 
 55 px 
 
; background-image 
 : 
 urel 
( 'http://www.google.com/images/logo_sm.gif' 
); border-color 
 : 
  # 
DCDCDC 
; border-color 
 : 
 rgba 
( 0 
 , 
 0 
 , 
 0 
 , 
 0.1 
);
}

Then you would get the following output:

 Unknown function \"urel\" in linting-example.gss at line 4 column 21:
  background-image: urel('http://www.google.com/images/logo_sm.gif');
                    ^

Detected multiple identical, non-alternate declarations in the same ruleset.
If this is intentional please use the /* @alternate */ annotation.
border-color:[rgba(0,0,0,0.1)] in linting-example.gss at line 7 column 1:
}
^

2 error(s)

In this particular case, the function urel() should have been url() , though if you are using a function that is not on the whitelist (see CssFunctionNode for the list of recognized functions, which is admittedly incomplete), then you can specify --allowed-non-standard-function to identify additional functions that should be whitelisted:

 java -jar closure-stylesheets.jar --allowed-non-standard-function urel linting-example.gss

The --allowed-non-standard-function flag may be specified multiple times.

It is also possible to disable the check for unknown functions altogether using the --allow-unrecognized-functions flag.

Further, in this example, the multiple declarations of border-color are intentional. They are arranged so that user agents that recognize rgba() will use the second declaration whereas those that do not will fall back on the first declaration. In order to suppress this error, use the /* @alternate */ annotation that the error message suggests as follows:

. logo 
{ width 
 : 
 150 px 
 
; height 
 : 
 55 px 
 
; background-image 
 : 
 url 
( 'http://www.google.com/images/logo_sm.gif' 
); border-color 
 : 
  # 
DCDCDC 
; /* @alternate */ 
 border-color 
 : 
 rgba 
( 0 
 , 
 0 
 , 
 0 
 , 
 0.1 
);
}

This signals that the re-declaration is intentional, which silences the error. It is also common to use this technique with multiple background declarations that use -webkit-linear-gradient , -moz-linear-gradient , etc. In general, using conditionals to select the appropriate declaration based on user agent is preferred; however, that requires the additional overhead of doing user agent detection and serving the appropriate stylesheet, so using the @alternate annotation is a simpler solution.

`--allow-unrecognized-properties` , `--allowed-unrecognized-property`

By default, Closure Stylesheets validates the names of CSS properties used in a stylesheet. We have attempted to capture all legal properties in the hardcoded list of recognized properties that is bundled with Closure Stylesheets. However, you can allow properties that aren't in the list with the --allowed-unrecognized-property flag. Consider the file bleeding-edge.gss :

. amplifier 
{ /* A hypothetical CSS property recognized by the latest version of WebKit. */ 
 -webkit-amp-volume 
 : 
 11 
;
}

Then running the following:

 java -jar closure-stylesheets.jar bleeding-edge.gss

would yield the following error:

 -webkit-amp-volume is an unrecognized property in bleeding-edge.gss at line 3 column 3:
  -webkit-amp-volume: 11;
  ^

1 error(s)

You can whitelist -webkit-amp-volume with the --allowed-unrecognized-property flag as follows:

 java -jar closure-stylesheets.jar \\
    --allowed-unrecognized-property -webkit-amp-volume bleeding-edge.gss

Like --allowed-non-standard-function , --allowed-unrecognized-property may be specified multiple times, once for each property to whitelist. We discourage using the blanket --allow-unrecognized-properties because it lets through everything, including simple spelling mistakes.

Note that some recognized properties will emit warnings. These warnings will not be silenced with the --allowed-unrecognized-property flag.

RTL Flipping

Closure Stylesheets has support for generating left-to-right (LTR) as well as right-to-left (RTL) stylesheets. By default, LTR is the assumed directionality for both the input and output, though those settings can be overridden by --input-orientation and --output-orientation , respectively.

For example, consider the following stylesheet, rtl-example.gss , which is designed for an LTR page:

. logo 
{ margin-left 
 : 
 10 px 
 
;
}

. shortcut_accelerator 
{ /* Keyboard shortcuts are untranslated; always left-to-right. */ 
 /* @noflip */ 
 direction 
 : 
ltr; border-right 
 : 
\t 2 px 
 
solid  # 
ccc 
; padding 
 : 
 0 
 2 px 
 
 0 
 4 px 
 
;
}

Generating the equivalent stylesheet to use on an RTL version of the page can be achieved by running java -jar closure-stylesheets.jar --pretty-print --output-orientation RTL rtl-example.gss , which prints:

. logo 
{ margin-right 
 : 
 10 px 
 
;
}
. shortcut_accelerator 
{ direction 
 : 
ltr; border-left 
 : 
 2 px 
 
solid  # 
ccc 
; padding 
 : 
 0 
 4 px 
 
 0 
 2 px 
 
;
}

Note how the following properties were changed:

margin-left became margin-right
border-right became border-left
The right and left values of padding were flipped.

However, the direction property was unchanged because of the special @noflip annotation. The annotation may also appear on the line before the property instead of alongside it:

 /* @noflip */ 
 direction 
 : 
ltr;

Renaming

Closure Stylesheets makes it possible to rename CSS class names in the generated stylesheet, which helps reduce the size of the CSS that is sent down to your users. Of course, this is not particularly useful unless the class names are renamed consistently in the HTML and JavaScript files that use the CSS. Fortunately, you can use the Closure Compiler to update the class names in your JavaScript and Closure Templates to update the class names in your HTML.

To get the benefits of CSS renaming in Closure, instead of referencing a CSS class name as a string literal, you must use that string literal as an argument to goog.getCssName() :

 // Do the following instead of goog.dom.getElementByClass('dialog-content'): 
 var 
 element 
 = 
 goog 
 . 
 dom 
 . 
 getElementByClass 
 ( 
 goog 
 . 
 getCssName 
 ( 
 'dialog-content' 
 ) 
 ) 
 ;

Similarly, in a Closure Template, you must wrap references to CSS classes with the css command :

{$title} {call .content data=\"all\" /}

{/template}">

{namespace example}

/**
 * @param title
 */
{template .dialog} < 
 div 
 class 
= \ 
"{css('dialog-content')}\" > 
 < 
 div 
 class 
= \ 
"{css('dialog-title')}\" > 
{$title} </ 
 title 
 > 
{call .content data=\"all\" /} </ 
 div 
 > 
{/template}

When you generate the JavaScript for the template, be sure to use the --cssHandlingScheme GOOG option with SoyToJsSrcCompiler . This ensures that the generated JavaScript code will also use goog.getCssName() . For example, if the above were named dialog.soy , then the following command would be used to create dialog.soy.js :

 java -jar SoyToJsSrcCompiler.jar \\
    --shouldProvideRequireSoyNamespaces \\
    --codeStyle concat \\
    --cssHandlingScheme GOOG \\
    --outputPathFormat '{INPUT_FILE_NAME_NO_EXT}.soy.js' \\
    dialog.soy

The contents of the generated dialog.soy.js file are:

' + soy.$$escapeHtml(opt_data.title) + '' + example.content(opt_data) + '

'; };">

 // This file was automatically generated from dialog.soy. 
 // Please don't edit this file by hand. 
 goog 
 . 
 provide 
 ( 
 'example' 
 ) 
 ; 
 goog 
 . 
 require 
 ( 
 'soy' 
 ) 
 ; 
 goog 
 . 
 require 
 ( 
 'example' 
 ) 
 ; 
 example 
 . 
 dialog 
 = 
 function 
 ( 
 opt_data 
 ) 
 { 
 return 
 '<div class=\"' 
 + 
 goog 
 . 
 getCssName 
 ( 
 'dialog-content' 
 ) 
 + 
 '\"><div class=\"' 
 + 
 goog 
 . 
 getCssName 
 ( 
 'dialog-title' 
 ) 
 + 
 '\">' 
 + 
 soy 
 . 
 $$escapeHtml 
 ( 
 opt_data 
 . 
 title 
 ) 
 + 
 '</title>' 
 + 
 example 
 . 
 content 
 ( 
 opt_data 
 ) 
 + 
 '</div>' 
 ; 
 } 
 ;

Note the uses of goog.getCssName() in the generated JavaScript file.

Now that all references to CSS class names are wrapped in goog.getCssName() , it is possible to leverage renaming. By default, goog.getCssName() simply returns the argument that was passed to it, so no renaming is done unless a renaming map has been set.

When running Closure Library code without processing it with the Closure Compiler, it is possible to set a renaming map by defining a global variable named CLOSURE_CSS_NAME_MAPPING in JavaScript code that is loaded before the Closure Library's base.js file. For example, if you defined your CSS in a file named dialog.gss :

. dialog-content 
{ padding 
 : 
 10 px 
 
;
}

. dialog-title 
{ font-weight 
 : 
bold;
}

Then you would run the following command to generate a stylesheet ( dialog.css ) with renamed classes, as well as the mapping data as a JavaScript file ( renaming_map.js ):

 java -jar closure-stylesheets.jar \\
    --pretty-print \\
    --output-file dialog.css \\
    --output-renaming-map-format CLOSURE_UNCOMPILED \\
    --rename CLOSURE \\
    --output-renaming-map renaming_map.js \\
    dialog.gss

The generated dialog.css would be as follows:

. a-b 
{ padding 
 : 
 10 px 
 
;
}
. a-c 
{ font-weight 
 : 
bold;
}

while the generated renaming_map.js would be:

 CLOSURE_CSS_NAME_MAPPING 
 = 
 { 
\ "dialog\": \"a\", 
 \" 
 content 
\": \ "b\", 
 \" 
 title 
\": \ "c\" 
 } 
 ;

An HTML file that uses the renaming map must be sure to include both the generated stylesheet with renamed class names as well as the renaming map:

">

 <!doctype html > 
 
 < 
 html 
 > 
 < 
 head 
 > 
 < 
 link 
 rel 
= \ 
"stylesheet\" href=\"dialog.css\" type=\"text/css\" > 
 </ 
 head 
 > 
 < 
 body 
 > 
 < 
 script 
 src 
= \ 
"renaming_map.js\" > 
 </ 
 script 
 > 
 < 
 script 
 src 
= \ 
"path/to/base.js\" > 
 </ 
 script 
 > 
 < 
 script 
 > 
 goog 
 . 
 require 
 ( 
 'example' 
 ) 
 ; 
 </ 
 script 
 > 
 < 
 script 
 > 
 // Your application logic that uses example.dialog() and other code. 
 </ 
 script 
 > 
 </ 
 body 
 > 
 </ 
 html 
 >

This ensures that when goog.getCssName('dialog-content') is called, it returns 'a-b' . In this way, the abbreviated name is used in place of the original name throughout the code.

An astute reader will note that so far, we have reduced only the size of the stylesheet, but not the JavaScript. To reduce the size of the JavaScript code, we must use the Closure Compiler in either SIMPLE or ADVANCED mode with the --process_closure_primitives flag enabled (it is enabled by default). When enabled, if it finds a call to goog.setCssNameMapping() in any of its inputs, it will use the argument to goog.setCssNameMapping() as the basis of a renaming map that is applied at compile time. To create the appropriate renaming map with Closure Stylesheets, use CLOSURE_COMPILED as the argument to --output-renaming-map-format :

 java -jar closure-stylesheets.jar \\
    --pretty-print \\
    --output-file dialog.css \\
    --output-renaming-map-format CLOSURE_COMPILED \\
    --rename CLOSURE \\
    --output-renaming-map renaming_map.js \\
    dialog.gss

This yields the following content for renaming_map.js :

 goog 
 . 
 setCssNameMapping 
 ( 
 { 
\ "dialog\": \"a\", 
 \" 
 content 
\": \ "b\", 
 \" 
 title 
\": \ "c\" 
 } 
 ) 
 ;

Now renaming_map.js is a suitable input for the Closure Compiler. Recall our original snippet of JavaScript code:

 var 
 element 
 = 
 goog 
 . 
 dom 
 . 
 getElementByClass 
 ( 
 goog 
 . 
 getCssName 
 ( 
 'dialog-content' 
 ) 
 ) 
 ;

If passed to the Closure Compiler in SIMPLE mode along with renaming_map.js , it will be transformed to the following after compilation:

 var 
 element 
 = 
 goog 
 . 
 dom 
 . 
 getElementByClass 
 ( 
\" a 
 - 
 b 
\" ) 
 ;

This achieves the goal of reducing both CSS and JS file sizes without changing the behavior of the application.

Admittedly, using CSS renaming is a fairly advanced option that requires a well-organized build system to ensure that the appropriate CSS and JS assets are produced for both development and production. See MoreOnCssRenaming for more details on this topic.

Note:it is also possible to exclude certain class names from being renamed by using the --excluded_classes_from_renaming flag. This may be necessary if some of your HTML is generated by a process that does not take CSS renaming into account. For example, if you are using a Python Django server and are using its template system, then any CSS classes used in those templates will not be renamed (unless you introduce a process to do so). In order to ensure that the JS and CSS that use the HTML reference CSS classes consistently, each CSS class in the Django template should be passed as an argument to Closure Stylesheets with the --excluded_classes_from_renaming flag when generating the CSS.

References to CSS class names that are excluded from renaming should never be wrapped in goog.getCssName() , or else they run the risk of being partially renamed.
