## 1.2 #sass.init Initialization partial

To make it easier to use all variables and mixins in any Sass file in this theme, each .scss file has a `@import 'init';` declaration. The _init.scss file is in charge of importing all the other partials needed for the theme.

The initialization partial is organized in this way:

- First we set any shared Sass variables.
- Next we import Sass modules (sometimes called Compass plug-ins).
- Last we define our custom mixins for this theme.

## 1.3 #sass.modules 3rd party libraries

The following sass modules are shared with all .scsss files:

- Breakpoint
- Chroma
- Compass support
- Compass sprites
- Compass CSS3
- Compass vertical rhythm
- Zen Grids

Additional pre-built libraries can be found on the Sache website.

## 1.4 #sass.variables Variables

Set variables for this site before a library sets its !default value.

### 1.4.1 #sass.variables.breakpoints Breakpoints

Use the `respond-to()` mixin to use named breakpoints. Documentation is available in the Breakpoint wiki pages.

## 1.5 #sass.functions Functions

Custom functions used on this site.

## 1.6 #sass.mixins Mixins

Custom mixins used on this site.

### 1.6.1 #sass.mixins.clearfix clearfix()

Allows the bottom of an element to extend to the bottom of all floated children elements. @see http://nicolasgallagher.com/micro-clearfix-hack/

We use the micro-clearfix, optimized for use in `@extend` where fewer `&` is better.

### 1.6.2 #sass.mixins.rtl rtl()

Includes Right-To-Left langauge support. Can be turned off globally by setting `$include-rtl: false;`.

### 1.6.3 #sass.mixins.visually-hidden visually-hidden()

Make an element visually hidden, but accessible to screen readers, etc. @see http://snook.ca/archives/html_and_css/hiding-content-for-accessibility

### 1.6.4 #sass.mixins.visually-hidden--focusable visually-hidden--focusable()

Makes an element visually hidden by default, but visible when receiving focus.

### 1.6.5 #sass.mixins.visually-hidden--off visually-hidden--off()

Turns off the visually-hidden effect.
