<p class="lead">Bootstrap is made with LESS at its core, a dynamic stylesheet language created by our good friend, <a href="http://cloudhead.io">Alexis Sellier</a>. It makes developing systems-based CSS faster, easier, and more fun.</p>
<h3>Why LESS?</h3>
<p>One of Bootstrap's creators wrote a quick <a href="http://www.wordsbyf.at/2012/03/08/why-less/">blog post about this</a>, summarized here:</p>
<ul>
<li>Bootstrap compiles faster ~6x faster with Less compared to Sass</li>
<li>Less is written in JavaScript, making it easier to us to dive in and patch compared to Ruby with Sass.</li>
<li>Less is more; we want to feel like we're writing CSS and making Bootstrap approachable to all.</li>
</ul>
<h3>What's included?</h3>
<p>As an extension of CSS, LESS includes variables, mixins for reusable snippets of code, operations for simple math, nesting, and even color functions.</p>
<h3>Learn more</h3>

<!-- COMPILING LESS AND BOOTSTRAP
================================================== -->
<section id="compiling">
<div class="page-header">
<h1>Compiling Bootstrap with Less</h1>
</div>
<p class="lead">Since our CSS is written with Less and utilizes variables and mixins, it needs to be compiled for final production implementation. Here's how.</p>
<div class="alert alert-info">
<strong>Note:</strong> If you're submitting a pull request to GitHub with modified CSS, you <strong>must</strong> recompile the CSS via any of these methods.
</div>
<h2>Tools for compiling</h2>
<h3>Node with makefile</h3>
<p>Install the LESS command line compiler, JSHint, Recess, and uglify-js globally with npm by running the following command:</p>
<pre>$ npm install -g less jshint recess uglify-js</pre>
<p>Once installed just run <code>make</code> from the root of your bootstrap directory and you're all set.</p>
<p>Additionally, if you have <a href="https://github.com/mynyml/watchr">watchr</a> installed, you may run <code>make watch</code> to have bootstrap automatically rebuilt every time you edit a file in the bootstrap lib (this isn't required, just a convenience method).</p>
<h3>Command line</h3>
<p>Install the LESS command line tool via Node and run the following command:</p>
<pre>$ lessc ./less/bootstrap.less > bootstrap.css</pre>
<p>Be sure to include <code>--compress</code> in that command if you're trying to save some bytes!</p>
<h3>JavaScript</h3>
<p><a href="http://lesscss.org/">Download the latest Less.js</a> and include the path to it (and Bootstrap) in the <code><head></code>.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint">
<link rel="stylesheet/less" href="/path/to/bootstrap.less">
<script src="/path/to/less.js"></script>
</pre>
<p>To recompile the .less files, just save them and reload your page. Less.js compiles them and stores them in local storage.</p>
<h3>Unofficial Mac app</h3>
<p><a href="http://incident57.com/less/">The unofficial Mac app</a> watches directories of .less files and compiles the code to local files after every save of a watched .less file. If you like, you can toggle preferences in the app for automatic minifying and which directory the compiled files end up in.</p>
<h3>More apps</h3>
<h4><a href="http://crunchapp.net/" target="_blank">Crunch</a></h4>
<p>Crunch is a great looking LESS editor and compiler built on Adobe Air.</p>
<h4><a href="http://incident57.com/codekit/" target="_blank">CodeKit</a></h4>
<p>Created by the same guy as the unofficial Mac app, CodeKit is a Mac app that compiles LESS, SASS, Stylus, and CoffeeScript.</p>
<h4><a href="http://wearekiss.com/simpless" target="_blank">Simpless</a></h4>
<p>Mac, Linux, and Windows app for drag and drop compiling of LESS files. Plus, the <a href="https://github.com/Paratron/SimpLESS" target="_blank">source code is on GitHub</a>.</p>
</section>
<!-- Static assets
================================================== -->
<section id="static-assets">
<div class="page-header">
<h1>Use as static assets</h1>
</div>
<p class="lead"><a href="./getting-started.html">Quickly start</a> any web project by dropping in the compiled or minified CSS and JS. Layer on custom styles separately for easy upgrades and maintenance moving forward.</p>
<h3>Setup file structure</h3>
<p>Download the latest compiled Bootstrap and place into your project. For example, you might have something like this:</p>
<pre>
<span class="icon-folder-open"></span> app/
<span class="icon-folder-open"></span> layouts/
<span class="icon-folder-open"></span> templates/
<span class="icon-folder-open"></span> public/
<span class="icon-folder-open"></span> css/
<span class="icon-file"></span> bootstrap.min.css
<span class="icon-folder-open"></span> js/
<span class="icon-file"></span> bootstrap.min.js
<span class="icon-folder-open"></span> img/
<span class="icon-file"></span> glyphicons-halflings.png
<span class="icon-file"></span> glyphicons-halflings-white.png
</pre>
<h3>Utilize starter template</h3>
<p>Copy the following base HTML to get started.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint linenums">
<html>
<head>
<title>Bootstrap 101 Template</title>
<!-- Bootstrap -->
<link href="public/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello, world!</h1>
<!-- Bootstrap -->
<script src="public/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
</pre>
<h3>Layer on custom code</h3>
<p>Work in your custom CSS, JS, and more as necessary to make Bootstrap your own with your own separate CSS and JS files.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint linenums">
<html>
<head>
<title>Bootstrap 101 Template</title>
