I've looked at those other CSS mixing solutions, but I like LESS
better for now, because it sticks to CSS syntax very closely. It also
keeps thing simple.
A blueprint div that look something like:
<div class="span-4 last sidebar-left" style="margin: 0px; padding: 10px;"></div>
Could be re-factored with LESS to look like:
<div class="sidebar-left"></div>
And the less file would look like:
@import "blueprint/screen.css";
.sidebar-left {
.span-4;
.last;
margin: 0px;
padding: 10px;
}
Which I think is way cleaner and easier to maintain.
I would like to know if anyone knows how to achieve that just by using
plain CSS.
I have to say that LESS doesn't make much sense unless you're using
CSS based on OOCSS concept
(http://wiki.github.com/stubbornella/oocss).
