<h1>Using LESS with Bootstrap</h1>

<h3>Why LESS?</h3>
<p>Bootstrap is made with LESS at it's 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>
</div>
<div class="span4">
<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>
</div>
<div class="span4">
<h3>Learn more</h3>

<h3><a href="#variables">Variables</a></h3>
<p>Managing colors and pixel values in CSS can be a bit of a pain, usually full of copy and paste. Not with LESS though—assign colors or pixel values as variables and change them once.</p>
</div>
<div class="span4">
<h3><a href="#mixins">Mixins</a></h3>
<p>Those three border-radius declarations you need to make in regular ol' CSS? Now they're down to one line with the help of mixins, snippets of code you can reuse anywhere.</p>
</div>
<div class="span4">
<h3>Operations</h3>
<p>Make your grid, leading, and more super flexible by doing the math on the fly with operations. Multiple, divide, add, and subtract your way to CSS sanity.</p>
