LESS file? #29

Closed marc-gist closed 8 years ago

What happened to the less file output? I haven't used your great program/site in some time, but I got a LESS file from it before and need to again. can you bring it back? Thanks!

They use sass instead of less. sass is a better preprocessor.

Like @JayGreentree said the project generates sass file since Bootstrap support sass a few years back

I know they use sass and I guess Bootstrap "supports" it; but it mainly uses LESS. I'm not really looking to debate LESS vs SASS... Lavish is fantastic, and used to support LESS file output. I would like to see that again. does Lavish require SASS (i.e. does something that LESS simply Can't do?).

Thanks!

"While Bootstrap is built on Less ..." http://getbootstrap.com/css/#sass So they have to port Bootstrap to SASS.

The bootstrap version that Lavish used to support is very old. Even if Lavish supports LESS you wouldn't easily just get the output and apply to whatever you're using.

But you can always create LESS yourself.

Just to give you an idea, Lavish modifies the 7 colors in varianles.sass and then concatenate all the sass files to generate the whole bootstrap.sass then compile to CSS. So you could try to get the bootstrap.less file and change the 7colors in there. The variable names should be very similar
