`npm install @csstools/postcss-syntax-descriptor-syntax-production --save-dev`

[PostCSS Syntax Descriptor Syntax Production] lets you use the `<syntax>` production in `syntax` descriptors following the [CSS Specification].

```css
@property --color {
	inherits: true;
	initial-value: black;
	syntax: <color>;
}

/* becomes */

@property --color {
	inherits: true;
	initial-value: black;
	syntax: "<color>";
}
```

## Usage

Add [PostCSS Syntax Descriptor Syntax Production] to your project:

```bash
npm install postcss @csstools/postcss-syntax-descriptor-syntax-production --save-dev
```

Use it as a [PostCSS] plugin:

```js
const postcss = require('postcss');
const postcssSyntaxDescriptorSyntaxProduction = require('@csstools/postcss-syntax-descriptor-syntax-production');

postcss([
	postcssSyntaxDescriptorSyntaxProduction(/* pluginOptions */)
]).process(YOUR_CSS /*, processOptions */);
```



## Options

### preserve

The `preserve` option determines whether the original notation
is preserved. By default, it is not preserved.

```js
postcssSyntaxDescriptorSyntaxProduction({ preserve: true })
```

```css
@property --color {
	inherits: true;
	initial-value: black;
	syntax: <color>;
}

/* becomes */

@property --color {
	inherits: true;
	initial-value: black;
	syntax: "<color>";
	syntax: <color>;
}
```
