Hi,

Bootstrap also comes with LESS. Consider to implement LESS in your bootstrap.

gsuez commented 10 years ago

Hi! well, I thought implement it, but the next CSS4 output, may not be necessary ;) anyway, it is not hard to do

Regards!

I think it's an important point right now tbh. (Personally I wouldn't choose a template without some kind of LESS support - maybe not Sass, but Less for sure).

But on the other hand, there is not very many PHP based compilers that can do the latest BS LESS? The one I have found to work with it (https://github.com/leafo/lessphp), takes ~5-10sec on the laptop... So maybe it's not really doable yet?

LESS is useful when buiding websites. Once your site is live it's important to provide the compiled css file. Not the LESS file.

That's really the way I see the MBS template here - It's a tool for us developers, but what good does it do if we must wait xx sec to see each change done? If you know any other compilers that can do it faster, please speak up :)

Develop on your local environment and deploy to the live server.

Hi pals, in the next upgrade, I plan to implement LESS compiler with Master Bootstrap, in addition with other enhancements. Well, if anyone can collaborate on something, you are welcome!

I found the fastest way is develop locally using grunt before deploying the compiled css. Thanks gsuez for your work on this template. It is a huge timesaver
