LESS

====

It's time CSS was done right – LESS is _leaner_ css.

Setup

------

to get the latest development version:

    

    sudo gem install less -s http://gemcutter.org

to get the latest stable version:

    sudo gem install less

Explained

---------

LESS allows you to write CSS the way (I think) it was meant to, that is: with *variables*, *nested rules* and *mixins*!

### Here's some example LESS code:

	

	@dark: #110011;

	.outline (@width: 1) { border: (@width * 10px) solid black }

	

	.article {

		a { text-decoration: none }

		p { color: @dark }

		.outline(3);

	}

	

### And the CSS output it produces:

	

	.article a { text-decoration: none }

	.article p { color: #110011 }

	.article { border: 30px solid black }

	

If you have CSS nightmares, just

	$ lessc style.less
