    I think the guys at http://lesscss.org/[^] should be given a knighthood.

        I don't know much about web development but, is it really a good idea to depend on JavaScript to create the page's CSS? If you go to their homepage with JavaScript disabled all you see is plain text...

              At least the content is still there, there are plenty of sites that are almost completely empty without JS. I'm not saying it's a good idea (it sucks), just, it could be a lot worse.

                Is it an alternative for jquery? [edit] Never mind, this is css-specific. [/edit]

                  .less is more about the syntax than the processor. We have it running in VS automatically on each file save in VS using Chirpy[^].

                      You can have a server-side 'expander' to emit CSS from LESS.

                      IronScheme
                      ((λ (x) `(,x ',x)) '(λ (x) `(,x ',x)))

                        Oh, I see. That makes more sense. I didn't notice the .less version either, your link was for the original less library.

                            And we would probably have to add HTML tags to the traditional heraldic symbols and perhaps redefine some of the heraldic colors.
