DMXzone LESS CSS Compiler Support
Enable fill support for LESS in Dreamweaver
LESS is the language that can speed up your development process significantly! And to make it even quicker, we developed the DMXzone LESS CSS Compiler
that does it in a mouse click time, directly in Dreamweaver! It's
extremely powerful and lets you use variables, mixins, nested rules and
even functions within your CSS.
Now you can finally open and edit LESS files directly in Dreamweaver
with color coding and code hinting! The extension will auto compile your
LESS files to CSS upon saving so you can experience the power of LESS
with the ease of Dreamweaver usage!
Overview
Features Highlights:
- Full color coding - Specified colors for general categories of tags and code elements.
- Full CSS hints support - Hints and guesses as to the appropriate HTML tag or attribute to use at that moment.
- LESS error reporting - When you
have an error in your less file you will see a popup with the exact
error and line in the code view so you can correct it directly.
- Compile Less files directly on save
- Full LESS CSS power in Dreamweaver - Use variables, mixins, nested rules and
even functions within your CSS.

Use All the LESS CSS Powers Directly in Dreamweaver!
- Variables - Variables allow you to specify widely used values in a single place, and then re-use them throughout the style sheet,
making global changes as easy as changing one line of code.
- Mixins - A Mixin in LESS is basically a common group of CSS properties grouped
into one, which can then be inserted into various other LESS selectors.
You can think of it like a variable, with several different properties.
- Nested Rules
- Rather than constructing long selector names to specify inheritance,
in Less you can simply nest selectors inside other selectors. This makes
inheritance clear and style sheets shorter.
- Functions & Operations
- Operations let you add, subtract, divide and multiply property values
and colors, giving you the power to create complex relationships
between properties. Operations should only be performed within
parentheses in order to ensure compatibility with CSS. Functions map
one-to-one with JavaScript code, allowing you to manipulate values
however you want.
