Hi all, I can't really find any good documentation of not only directions, but explanations of what css/less is and how to customize bootstrap websites in the current file structure. I'm also very new to development as well and would just like more understanding of how this works, so please excuse my semantics. Any help for these questions?
1. Where are the color variables that are defined in a .less? I'm guessing these are found in variables.less. I've tried adjusting variables.less, but I know this does not work since they need to be compiled. 2. Where are the compiled color variables located in a .css? I'm assuming this is in a css file but I do not know the name of it. I believe the process when making changes in the variables.less file is to replace the variables.less file, compile it as a css file, then replace the current css file with old variables with the new one with new variables. 3. What exactly is client-side, server-side compiling? When downloading the bootstrap files, it obviously doesn't have a compiler in it, and I understand its not good practice to client-side compile. Is that all there is to worry about this? 4. What is the html code syntax for reading styles from a .css file? Is it something like <script src="/ / /style.css>? 5. Is it possible to create a brand new .less with color variables, then compile it into a .css, and rather than replace, just include the script so it takes priority over predefined color variables? I'm guessing yes as well, but is this also good practice? I would like to assume yes since when a new bootstrap version comes out we can just take the color variables we define in a .css file and add them to the new file package, right? Thanks guys.
