      <h3>{{_i}}Why LESS?{{/i}}</h3>
      <p>{{_i}}Bootstrap is made with LESS at its core, a dynamic stylesheet language created by our good friend, <a href="http://cloudhead.io">Alexis Sellier</a>. It makes developing systems-based CSS faster, easier, and more fun.{{/i}}</p>
    </div>
    <div class="span4">
      <h3>{{_i}}What's included?{{/i}}</h3>
      <p>{{_i}}As an extension of CSS, LESS includes variables, mixins for reusable snippets of code, operations for simple math, nesting, and even color functions.{{/i}}</p>
    </div>
    <div class="span4">

      <p>{{_i}}Managing colors and pixel values in CSS can be a bit of a pain, usually full of copy and paste. Not with LESS though&mdash;assign colors or pixel values as variables and change them once.{{/i}}</p>
    </div>
    <div class="span4">
      <h3><a href="#mixins">{{_i}}Mixins{{/i}}</a></h3>
      <p>{{_i}}Those three border-radius declarations you need to make in regular ol' CSS? Now they're down to one line with the help of mixins, snippets of code you can reuse anywhere.{{/i}}</p>
    </div>
    <div class="span4">
      <h3>{{_i}}Operations{{/i}}</h3>
      <p>{{_i}}Make your grid, leading, and more super flexible by doing the math on the fly with operations. Multiply, divide, add, and subtract your way to CSS sanity.{{/i}}</p>

    <h1>{{_i}}Compiling Bootstrap with LESS{{/i}}</h1>
  </div>
  <div class="alert alert-info">
    {{_i}}<strong>Note:</strong> If you're submitting a pull request to GitHub with modified CSS, you <strong>must</strong> recompile the CSS via any of these methods.{{/i}}
  </div>
  <h2>{{_i}}Tools for compiling{{/i}}</h2>
  <div class="row">
    <div class="span4">
      <h3>{{_i}}Node with makefile{{/i}}</h3>
      <p>{{_i}}Install the LESS command line compiler globally with npm by running the following command:{{/i}}</p>
      <pre>$ npm install -g less</pre>
      <p>{{_i}}Once installed just run <code>make</code> from the root of your bootstrap directory and you're all set.{{/i}}</p>
      <p>{{_i}}Additionally, if you have <a href="https://github.com/mynyml/watchr">watchr</a> installed, you may run <code>make watch</code> to have bootstrap automatically rebuilt every time you edit a file in the bootstrap lib (this isn't required, just a convenience method).{{/i}}</p>
    </div><!-- /span4 -->
    <div class="span4">
      <h3>{{_i}}Command line{{/i}}</h3>
      <p>{{_i}}Install the LESS command line tool via Node and run the following command:{{/i}}</p>
        <pre>$ lessc ./lib/bootstrap.less > bootstrap.css</pre>
      <p>{{_i}}Be sure to include <code>--compress</code> in that command if you're trying to save some bytes!{{/i}}</p>

    <div class="span4">
      <h3>{{_i}}Javascript{{/i}}</h3>
      <p>{{_i}}<a href="http://lesscss.org/">Download the latest Less.js</a> and include the path to it (and Bootstrap) in the <code>&lt;head&gt;</code>.{{/i}}</p>

&lt;script src="/path/to/less.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;

      <p>{{_i}}To recompile the .less files, just save them and reload your page. Less.js compiles them and stores them in local storage.{{/i}}</p>
