>=Rails 3.1 how to include IE specific YAML-CSS file in asset pipeline

Question

How to include the Yaml-CSS suit's iehacks.css? The yaml documentation points to something like this conditional statement.

<!--[if lte IE 7]>         
<link rel="stylesheet" href="stylesheets/yaml/core/iehacks.css" type="text/css"/>
<![endif]-->

How do I include that css file in my Rails 3.1++ app (dependent on IE or not IE ;) with the new rails pipelining features in mind?

You can't really package this with the rest of the files you'd combine into `application.css` because you want the conditional wrapping the `` tag for these ie-only styles. There's an already-minified version of the file available at `stylesheets/yaml/core/iehacks.min.css`. Why not just point to that? Do you have many other `lte IE 7` stylesheets you want to pack together? — deefour, Jul 11 '12 at 17:06

In your config/application.rb, add a line like that:

config.assets.precompile += %w(iehacks.css)

Only files inside the "application" manifest are automatically used for precompilation.

Extra files must be declared manually.

I hope this helps and sorry about my english.
