I've never seen such a thing - might I ask where you've seen this?

[traq]

it might be a CMS-specific code of some sort, their version of an "include" or variable, which is parsed server-side and then replaced with the actual (numeric) value.

i downloaded a site project, it was in css file

[djr33]

Yes, as he said: it is probably parsed by a CMS (content management system) replacing those values. Is the css file not part of a bigger site with some sort of complex PHP/ASP/CGI?

Those are variables most likely passed by making changes in some admin console form for the various settings of something like a shopping cart or portfolio site where image sizes are being left to the site owner instead of hard coded.
