    Bootstrap was built with Preboot, an open-source pack of mixins and variables to be used in conjunction with Less, a CSS preprocessor for faster and easier web development.

    Check out how we used Preboot in Bootstrap and how you can make use of it should you choose to run Less on your next project.

    How to use it

    -

    Use this option to make full use of Bootstrap’s Less variables, mixins, and nesting in CSS via javascript in your browser.

    -
    -<link rel="stylesheet/less" href="less/bootstrap.less" media="all" />
-<script src="js/less-1.1.3.min.js"></script>

    Not feeling the .js solution? Try the Less Mac app or use Node.js to compile when you deploy your code.

    What’s included

    Here are some of the highlights of what’s included in Twitter Bootstrap as part of Bootstrap. Head over to the Bootstrap website or Github project page to download and learn more.

    Variables

    -

    Variables in Less are perfect for maintaining and updating your CSS headache free. When you want to change a color value or a frequently used value, update it in one spot and you’re set.

    Commenting

    -

    Less also provides another style of commenting in addition to CSS’s normal /* ... */ syntax.

    Mixins up the wazoo

    Mixins are basically includes or partials for CSS, allowing you to combine a block of code into one. They’re great for vendor prefixed properties like box-shadow, cross-browser gradients, font stacks, and more. Below is a sample of the mixins that are included with Bootstrap.

    Compiling Less

    -

    After modifying the .less files in /lib/, you'll need to recompile them in order to regenerate the bootstrap-*.*.*.css and bootstrap-*.*.*.min.css files. If you're submitting a pull request to GitHub, you must always recompile.

    MethodSteps
    Node with makefile -

    Install the LESS command line compiler with npm by running the following command:

    - 
    $ npm install less
    -

    Once installed just run make from the root of your bootstrap directory and you're all set.

    -

    Additionally, if you have watchr installed, you may run make watch to have bootstrap automatically rebuilt every time you edit a file in the bootstrap lib (this isn't required, just a convenience method).

    Javascript -
