- # Syntaxes
-
- There are many styling languages, ranging from CSS language extensions like SCSS to entirely different notations, e.g. CSS-in-JS objects.
-
- These styling languages can be embedded within other languages too. For example:
-
- - HTML `<style>` tags
- - markdown fences
- - JavaScript template literals
-
- We aim to support all these use cases in stylelint, but it's a complicated endeavor.
-
- We lean on [PostCSS syntaxes](https://github.com/postcss/postcss#syntaxes) to help us with this task. We use them to transform these languages into something that resembles CSS, which is the language that:
-
- - underpins all the other styling languages
- - is best understood by rules built into stylelint
-
- If you write your styles in anything other than CSS, please consider [contributing to these syntaxes](../developer-guide/syntaxes.md) so that they can remain compatible with stylelint.
