Emilia

The master branch is instable currently, try v0.1.1.

Css sprite tool, supports rem, supports output multiple sprites pictures.

Emilia gets stylesheet files and recognizes sprite mark like url(a.png?__sprite), finally output updated stylesheet files as well as sprite pictures. It supports rem and px, also supports numerical conversion. Besides, it tries to be designed easier to fit different frameworks, such as fis3 or webpack.

If you are tend to build sprite pictures according to image resources, maybe you like Lia.
