## What it is
StyleDocco is a Node.js command-line tool that generates documentation and style guide documents from stylesheets. It parses Markdown comments in CSS, SASS, SCSS, Less, or Stylus files and renders live HTML previews of example code with the styles applied.

## Use cases
- generate a living style guide from my css comments
- document design patterns in stylesheets
- show rendered previews of ui components from css docs
- create html documentation for sass or less files
- preview responsive components at different viewport sizes

## When to choose
- you maintain a css/sass/less codebase and want auto-generated style guide docs
- you want markdown comments to render live component previews
- you prefer a simple node-based cli with preprocessor support

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained tool with modern css support
- your project uses css-in-js or modern build tooling
- you need integration with current documentation frameworks

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: abandoned
- function: documentation, css-framework, cli, markdown
- domain: web-development, frontend, documentation, developer-tools
- platform: cli, cross-platform
- tags: style-guide, css-documentation, living-style-guide, preprocessors, sass, less, nodejs
