1,146 PointsError while writing mixin for common text pattern
@mixin text
{
@mixin text($size, $l-height:null, $weight:null, $color:null)
{
font-size : $size;
line-height : $l-height;
font-weight : $weight;
color : $color;
}
}
I wrote this mixin and included the '_mixin.scss' file in the '_base.scss' file. @include text(1em, 1.5, $color:$color-text-base);
I got an error: Mixins may not be defined within control directives or other mixins.
Am i missing something?

25,940 PointsIt looks like a syntax error because you have @mixin text inside @mixin text. You define a mixin like this:
@mixin text($size, $l-height:null, $weight:null, $color:null) {
}
Remove the outer @mixin text and you should be fine.
