<h1>Using LESS with Bootstrap</h1>
<p class="lead">Customize and extend Bootstrap with <a href="http://lesscss.org" target="_blank">LESS</a>, a CSS preprocessor, to take advantage of the variables, mixins, and more used to build Bootstrap's CSS.</p>

<h1>Built with LESS</h1>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="span4">
<h3>Why LESS?</h3>
<p>Bootstrap is made with LESS at it's 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.</p>
</div>
<div class="span4">
<h3>What's included?</h3>
<p>As an extension of CSS, LESS includes variables, mixins for reusable snippets of code, operations for simple math, nesting, and even color functions.</p>
</div>
<div class="span4">
<h3>Learn more</h3>
<img style="float: right; height: 36px;" src="assets/img/less-logo-large.png" alt="LESS CSS">
<p>Visit the official website at <a href="http://lesscss.org">http://lesscss.org</a> to learn more.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="span4">
<h3>Variables</h3>
<p>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.</p>
</div>
<div class="span4">
<h3>Mixins</h3>
<p>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.</p>
</div>
<div class="span4">
<h3>Operations</h3>
<p>Make your grid, leading, and more super flexible by doing the math on the fly with operations. Multiple, divide, add, and subtract your way to CSS sanity.</p>

<!-- MIXINS
================================================== -->
<div class="page-header" id="mixins">
<h1>Bootstrap mixins <small></small></h1>
</div>
<h3>Mixins up the wazoo</h3>
<p>Mixins are basically includes or partials for CSS, allowing you to combine a block of code into one. Theyre great for vendor prefixed properties like <code>box-shadow</code>, cross-browser gradients, font stacks, and more. Below is a sample of the mixins that are included with Bootstrap.</p>
<h4>Font stacks</h4>
<pre class="prettyprint linenums">
#font {
.shorthand(@weight: normal, @size: 14px, @lineHeight: 20px) {
font-size: @size;
font-weight: @weight;
line-height: @lineHeight;
}
.sans-serif(@weight: normal, @size: 14px, @lineHeight: 20px) {
font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: @size;
font-weight: @weight;
line-height: @lineHeight;
}
...
}
</pre>
<h4>Gradients</h4>
<pre class="prettyprint linenums">
#gradient {
...
.vertical (@startColor: #555, @endColor: #333) {
background-color: @endColor;
background-repeat: repeat-x;
background-image: -khtml-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(@startColor), to(@endColor)); // Konqueror
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(@startColor, @endColor); // FF 3.6+
background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(@startColor, @endColor); // IE10
background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%, @startColor), color-stop(100%, @endColor)); // Safari 4+, Chrome 2+
background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(@startColor, @endColor); // Safari 5.1+, Chrome 10+
background-image: -o-linear-gradient(@startColor, @endColor); // Opera 11.10
background-image: linear-gradient(@startColor, @endColor); // The standard
}
...
}
</pre>
<h3>Operations</h3>
<p>Get fancy and perform some math to generate flexible and powerful mixins like the one below.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint linenums">
// Griditude
@gridColumns: 16;
@gridColumnWidth: 40px;
@gridGutterWidth: 20px;
@siteWidth: (@gridColumns * @gridColumnWidth) + (@gridGutterWidth * (@gridColumns - 1));
// Make some columns
.columns(@columnSpan: 1) {
width: (@gridColumnWidth * @columnSpan) + (@gridGutterWidth * (@columnSpan - 1));
}
</pre>
<!-- COMPILING LESS AND BOOTSTRAP
================================================== -->
<section id="compiling">
<div class="page-header">
<h1>Compiling Bootstrap with LESS</h1>
</div>
<div class="alert alert-info">
<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.
</div>
<h2>Tools for compiling</h2>
<div class="row">
<div class="span4">
<h3>Node with makefile</h3>
<p>Install the LESS command line compiler with npm by running the following command:</p>
<pre>$ npm install less</pre>
<p>Once installed just run <code>make</code> from the root of your bootstrap directory and you're all set.</p>
<p>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).</p>
</div><!-- /span4 -->
<div class="span4">
<h3>Command line</h3>
<p>Install the LESS command line tool via Node and run the following command:</p>
<pre>$ lessc ./lib/bootstrap.less > bootstrap.css</pre>
<p>Be sure to include <code>--compress</code> in that command if you're trying to save some bytes!</p>
</div><!-- /span4 -->
<div class="span4">
<h3>Javascript</h3>
<p><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>.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint">
&lt;link rel="stylesheet/less" href="/path/to/bootstrap.less"&gt;
&lt;script src="/path/to/less.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
</pre>
<p>To recompile the .less files, just save them and reload your page. Less.js compiles them and stores them in local storage.</p>
</div><!-- /span4 -->
</div><!-- /row -->
<div class="row">
<div class="span4">
<h3>Unofficial Mac app</h3>
<p><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.</p>
<p>If you like, you can toggle preferences in the app for automatic minifying and which directory the compiled files end up in.</p>
</div><!-- /span4 -->
<div class="span4">
<h3>More Mac apps</h3>
<h4><a href="http://crunchapp.net/" target="_blank">Crunch</a></h4>
<p>Crunch is a great looking LESS editor and compiler built on Adobe Air.</p>
<h4><a href="http://incident57.com/codekit/" target="_blank">CodeKit</a></h4>
<p>Created by the same guy as the unofficial Mac app, CodeKit is a Mac app that compiles LESS, SASS, Stylus, and CoffeeScript.</p>
<h4><a href="http://wearekiss.com/simpless" target="_blank">Simpless</a></h4>
<p>Mac, Linux, and PC app for drag and drop compiling of LESS files. Plus, the <a href="https://github.com/Paratron/SimpLESS" target="_blank">source code is on GitHub</a>.</p>
