Gulp watch not watching?

I run gulp in the cmd line on Windows. When I edit my SCSS files, the gulp watch doesn't fire unless I make the cmd window active. Is this normal behavior?



This is my gulpfile:



    // grab our packages

var gulp   = require('gulp'),

    sass = require('gulp-ruby-sass')

    autoprefixer = require('gulp-autoprefixer'),

    minifycss = require('gulp-minify-css'),

    rename = require('gulp-rename');;



// define the default task and add the watch task to it

gulp.task('default', ['watch']);





gulp.task('build-css', function() {

    return sass('src/scss/**/*.scss', {

        style: 'expanded'

    })

        .pipe(gulp.dest('public/css/'))

        .pipe(rename({suffix: '.min'}))

        .pipe(minifycss())

        .pipe(gulp.dest('public/css'));

});



// configure which files to watch and what tasks to use on file changes

gulp.task('watch', function() {

    gulp.watch('src/scss/**/*.scss', ['build-css']);

});





gulp gulp-watch

          Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

          Image
          up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title. Any help appreciated, as always. documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{book} % Packages[![enter image description here][1]][1] usepackage[left=3.5cm, right=3.5cm, top=4.3cm, bottom=4.25cm]{geometry} usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} usepackage{libertine} usepackage[libertine]{newtx...
