Update docs to encourage only performing operations within parentheses #29

Pretty much exactly what the title says. Let me know if you want me to change anything.

EvanLovely commented 12 years ago

Out of curiosity, why? I see that you said this in the commit:

Operations should only be performed within parentheses in order to ensure compatibility with CSS.

dmcass commented 12 years ago

Because LESS will be moving to that model. In a future version of LESS any operations performed outside of parentheses will not be evaluated. CSS is using forward slash to delimit multiple values of the same type (elliptical border-radius, background shorthand), and they may use other "operators" in the future to do something different. Encouraging people to wrap their operations in parentheses now means less breakage in the future.

Awesome, thanks for the background! Good habits now that make less stress in the future sounds good to me!
