the first spec for CSS nesting had us use that whenever the nesting wasn't "to the right". in almost all cases though, you can just delete @nest and the nesting will match the updated spec.

Thanks for the explanation, I cannot find any documentation on it though. did it never make it out of spec?

I can't find any documentation on it either, which kind of makes sense, as it's not a supported syntax anymore. Old versions of CSS Nesting supported it, but have since removed it. Might be able to find it in archives?

@argyleink I'm confused, are you not the person who created the tool-tip.css file? Your commit 6973c9f887ff2a62300e2de94a7cd3f307cabb4c with @nest has your name on it?

I am. What are you looking for?

I think i'm just lost, I was trying to understand where @nest came from in your code, was it deprecated recently?

For reference, I found this in the original spec as @argyleink Mentioned. I guess it was since removed in the newer versions of the spec. Love your work!
