Demos need compiled CSS from the project to work #199

Open tomgreever opened 9 years ago

tomgreever commented 9 years ago

In order for the demos in the iframes to display properly, they need a compiled version of the CSS from the project inside the documentation's output folder.

Currently, I'm solving this by having grunt compile the CSS and copy it to my output folder - but I think DocJS should handle it automatically.

Perhaps it can be added as a config variable: 

demoStyles: '/folder/less/styles.less'

When generated, DocJS grabs this file, compiles it, moves it to the output folder, and updates the demo files with the correct CSS ref.

Related to #198, this isn't something that can really be made to automatically work for anything but the most simple cases.

CSS is compiled with a wide variety of means (r.js, grunt.js, steal-tools).
