## Description

Write LESS, edit your variables and compile your stylesheet from your dashboard.

[Read the documentation](http://webmaestro.fr/less-compiler-wordpress/)

 * Register and enqueue your LESS sheets the same way you would do for your CSS.
 *     ```
       `
       ```
   
 * wp_enqueue_style( ‘my-less-handle’, ‘http://example.com/css/mystyle.less’, $deps,
   $ver, $media );
    `
 * Configure the plugin with the `less_configuration` filter.
 * Configuration of the plugin is optional, but you should at least register your
   variables if you are using a CSS framework.
 * Set a LESS variable value
 *     ```
       `
       ```
   
 * less_set( $variable, $value );
    `
 * Get a LESS variable value
 *     ```
       `
       ```
   
 * less_get( $variable );
    `

You will most likely use these functions in your theme’s `functions.php`.

The plugin uses [the Less.php Compiler](http://lessphp.gpeasy.com/).
