Hi, all...
Anyone using LESS with their CSS?
I'm trying to get a handle on using LESS with my CSS,
but I'm not quite getting it to work.
I'm including the styles.less and the less.js files,
but I'm missing something, because the variables don't

You compile LESS down to css files, you don't serve it up to the browser.
I like cfstatic for asset management. It can also compile LESS on the fly.

As a heavy Bootstrap user, I use LESS constantly. Once you really dig
way to use LESS CSS with CF?
I'm just now looking seriously into LESS and its usage.
So far, I've really only looked at its use of variables.
As far as variables are concerned, I don't see much difference between using
variables and classes.
I can define, say, a class this way in CSS

Apparently, this looks like a CSS prepocessor.
But I do not see anything that cannot be done with CF.
So what is the advantage of using yet another technology?

You're right, you could do something like this with CF. But why rewrite
the wheel when documented frameworks already exist that can do it for
you? Now, if you need something that one of these frameworks can not
accomplish for you...

Variables are on small advantage. It's nice to be able to set a variable
for a color, for instance, and reuse it in several hundred locations, in
a variety of scenarios
How would you perform CSS pre-processing with CF?
Well, if the job is just to create dynamic CSS, CF can do the same way it can
create dynamic HTML.
It can either create static .CSS files whenever styles muste be changed. For
instance, in my CMS I have a styles editor with all parameters
LESS (and SASS/SCSS) are common, widely used CSS preprocessors. Frameworks like
Bootstrap come with LESS files.
I could also write my own database use XML files and CF's XML/struct/array
capabilities, but that would be quite ridiculous.

That's the advantage of Less (and SASS too for that matter) - you dont
learn any new
I don't think it's recorded anywhere, but if you want me to give it
somewhere, let me know. ;)

Rick,
CFSTATIC (https://github.com/DominicWatson/cfstatic) will combine and
minify both standard CSS and JS files as well as work with LESS file. I've
used it in a number of projects and it works great.
