I thought I would share with you all an incredibly amazing tool.

http://lesscss.org/

Basically it is a CSS compiler, that enables you to use variables, functions (mixins) and nesting inside of your CSS. All you have to do is make a file, style.less, edit it using the less syntax (essentially the same as regular css, only better), then run

And it will generate a nicely formatted CSS file.

If you want it to update the style.css as you edit the style.less file, run

You need to have Ruby installed to run this program.

Here is an example of a .less file I am working with:

And here is the .css file it generated

I think it's a great too. :3 Hope you all like it as much as I do.


Never mind the use of both hex colors and rgb colors, I am tired and lesscss ends up compiling rbg() into hex colors anyway.
