<p class="lead">{{_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>
|
|
|
|
<h3>{{_i}}Why LESS?{{/i}}</h3>
|
|
<p>{{_i}}One of Bootstrap's creators wrote a quick <a href="http://www.wordsbyf.at/2012/03/08/why-less/">blog post about this</a>, summarized here:{{/i}}</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>{{_i}}Bootstrap compiles faster ~6x faster with Less compared to Sass{{/i}}</li>
|
|
<li>{{_i}}Less is written in JavaScript, making it easier to us to dive in and patch compared to Ruby with Sass.{{/i}}</li>
|
|
<li>{{_i}}Less is more; we want to feel like we're writing CSS and making Bootstrap approachable to all.{{/i}}</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<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>
|
|
|
|
<h3>{{_i}}Learn more{{/i}}</h3>
|
|
<p>{{_i}}Visit the official website at <a href="http://lesscss.org">http://lesscss.org</a> to learn more.{{/i}}</p>

</div>

<p class="lead">{{_i}}Since our CSS is written with Less and utilizes variables and mixins, it needs to be compiled for final production implementation. Here's how.{{/i}}</p>

{{_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}}

<h3>{{_i}}Unofficial Mac app{{/i}}</h3>
|
|
<p>{{_i}}<a href="http://incident57.com/less/">The unofficial Mac app</a> watches directories of .less files and compiles the code to local files after every save of a watched .less file. If you like, you can toggle preferences in the app for automatic minifying and which directory the compiled files end up in.{{/i}}</p>

<h3>{{_i}}More apps{{/i}}</h3>
