<p><a href="http://lesscss.org" rel="nofollow ugc">LESS</a> is a templating language based on top of CSS. It provides numerous enhancements to speed up development and make its maintenance easier.</p>
<p>Theme developers can even bundle the plugin without worrying about conflicts: just include the special <code>bootstrap-for-theme.php</code> and read its instructions.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Variables</li>
<li>Mixins (inheritance of rules)</li>
<li>Nested Rules (write less, do more)</li>
<li>Accessors (inherit a value from a specific rule)</li>
<li>Functions (logic operations for dynamic results)</li>
</ul>
<p>The plugin lets you concentrate on what you need: coding CSS. Everything else is handled automatically, from cache management to user delivery.<br />
Seriously.</p>
<h4>Documentation</h4>
<p>Advanced topics on how to use the plugin API are <a href="https://github.com/oncletom/wp-less/tree/master/doc" rel="nofollow ugc">available on the Github project documentation</a>.</p>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<p>The sole requirement is to use WordPress API and LESS convention: the <code>.less</code> extension.</p>
<p><strong>Minimal Requirements</strong>: PHP 5.3 and WordPress 3.2.<br />
<strong>Relies on</strong>: <a href="http://lessphp.gpeasy.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Less.php</a>, <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/plugin-toolkit/" rel="ugc">plugin-toolkit</a>.</p>
<p><em>Notice</em>: in case you’d like to drop the usage of this plugin, it’s safe to do it. You will just need to convert back your stylesheets to CSS.</p>
