<h3>Why LESS?</h3>
<p>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.</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 class="row">
<div class="span4">
<h3><a href="#variables">Variables</a></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—assign colors or pixel values as variables and change them once.</p>
</div>
<div class="span4">
<h3><a href="#mixins">Mixins</a></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. Multiply, divide, add, and subtract your way to CSS sanity.</p>

<!-- MIXINS

<section id="mixins">
<div class="page-header">
<h1>Bootstrap mixins <small></small></h1>
</div>
<h2>About mixins</h2>
<div class="row">
<div class="span4">
<h3>Basic mixins</h3>
<p>A basic mixin is essentially an include or a partial for a snippet of CSS. They're written just like a CSS class and can be called anywhere.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint linenums">
.element {
.clearfix();
}
</pre>
</div><!-- /span4 -->
<div class="span4">
<h3>Parametric mixins</h3>
<p>A parametric mixin is just like a basic mixin, but it also accepts parameters (hence the name) with optional default values.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint linenums">
.element {
.border-radius(4px);
}
</pre>
</div><!-- /span4 -->
<div class="span4">
<h3>Easily add your own</h3>
<p>Nearly all of Bootstrap's mixins are stored in mixins.less, a wonderful utility .less file that enables you to use a mixin in any of the .less files in the toolkit.</p>
<p>So, go ahead and use the existing ones or feel free to add your own as you need.</p>

<!-- 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 and uglify-js globally with npm by running the following command:</p>
<pre>$ npm install -g less uglify-js</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><head></code>.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint">
<link rel="stylesheet/less" href="/path/to/bootstrap.less">
<script src="/path/to/less.js"></script>
</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>
