Note: From now on, new development on LESS will be happening in http://github.com/less/less.js
See http://github.com/cowboyd/less.rb for less ruby development.
It's time CSS was done right – LESS is leaner css.
to get the latest development version:
sudo gem install less -s http://gemcutter.org
to get the latest stable version:
sudo gem install less
LESS allows you to write CSS the way (I think) it was meant to, that is: with variables, nested rules and mixins!
@dark: #110011;
.outline (@width: 1) { border: (@width * 10px) solid black }
.article {
a { text-decoration: none }
p { color: @dark }
.outline(3);
}
.article a { text-decoration: none }
.article p { color: #110011 }
.article { border: 30px solid black }
If you have CSS nightmares, just $ lessc style.less
