 You can choose whether to use [Dart Sass][] or [Node Sass][] by setting the `sass.compiler` property. Node Sass will be used by default, but it's strongly recommended that you set it explicitly for forwards-compatibility in case the default ever changes.

 By default, [gulp-sourcemaps](https://github.com/floridoo/gulp-sourcemaps) writes the source maps inline in the compiled CSS files. To write them to a separate file, specify a path relative to the `gulp.dest()` destination in the `sourcemaps.write()` function.

 var sourcemaps = require('gulp-sourcemaps');
