Can I use the ampersand in SASS to reference specific tags with the parent class? [duplicate]

Answer 1

On Sass 3.4:

.semantic {
    @at-root {
      ul#{&} {
        padding: 0;
        margin: 0;
      }
      p#{&} {
        margin: 0;
      }
    }
}

Generates:

ul.semantic {
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
}

p.semantic {
  margin: 0;
}

@at-root moves the block to the top-level. This has several uses (see link) but here it's being used to keep take advantage of the & syntax without implying that the rules are child selectors of .semantic.
