- <img style="float: right; height: 36px; margin: 10px 20px 20px" src="assets/img/less-logo-large.png" alt="LESS CSS">
- <p class="lead">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>
- <h3>Why LESS?</h3>
- <p>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:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>Bootstrap compiles faster ~6x faster with Less compared to Sass</li>
- <li>Less is written in JavaScript, making it easier to us to dive in and patch compared to Ruby with Sass.</li>
- <li>Less is more; we want to feel like we're writing CSS and making Bootstrap approachable to all.</li>
- </ul>
- <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>
- <h3>Learn more</h3>
- <p>Visit the official website at <a href="http://lesscss.org">http://lesscss.org</a> to learn more.</p>

- <!-- COMPILING LESS AND BOOTSTRAP
- ================================================== -->
- <section id="compiling">
- <div class="page-header">
- <h1>Compiling Bootstrap with Less</h1>
- </div>
- <p class="lead">Since our CSS is written with Less and utilizes variables and mixins, it needs to be compiled for final production implementation. Here's how.</p>
- <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>
- <h3>Node with makefile</h3>
- <p>Install the LESS command line compiler, JSHint, Recess, and uglify-js globally with npm by running the following command:</p>
- <pre>$ npm install -g less jshint recess 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>
- <h3>Command line</h3>
- <p>Install the LESS command line tool via Node and run the following command:</p>
- <pre>$ lessc ./less/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>
- <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>
- <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. If you like, you can toggle preferences in the app for automatic minifying and which directory the compiled files end up in.</p>
- <h3>More 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 Windows 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>

- <!-- Static assets
- ================================================== -->
- <section id="static-assets">
- <div class="page-header">
- <h1>Use as static assets</h1>
- </div>
- <p class="lead"><a href="./getting-started.html">Quickly start</a> any web project by dropping in the compiled or minified CSS and JS. Layer on custom styles separately for easy upgrades and maintenance moving forward.</p>
- <h3>Setup file structure</h3>
- <p>Download the latest compiled Bootstrap and place into your project. For example, you might have something like this:</p>
- <pre class="prettyprint">
- app/
- ├── layouts/
- └── templates/
- public/
- ├── css/
- │ ├── bootstrap.min.css
- ├── js/
- │ ├── bootstrap.min.js
- └── img/
- ├── glyphicons-halflings.png
- └── glyphicons-halflings-white.png
- </pre>
- <h3>Utilize starter template</h3>
- <p>Copy the following base HTML to get started.</p>
- <pre class="prettyprint linenums">
- <html>
- <head>
- <title>Bootstrap 101 Template</title>
- <!-- Bootstrap -->
- <link href="public/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
- </head>
- <body>
- <h1>Hello, world!</h1>
- <!-- Bootstrap -->
- <script src="public/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
- </body>
- </html>
- </pre>
- <h3>Layer on custom code</h3>
- <p>Work in your custom CSS, JS, and more as necessary to make Bootstrap your own with your own separate CSS and JS files.</p>
- <pre class="prettyprint linenums">
- <html>
- <head>
- <title>Bootstrap 101 Template</title>
