How to use Less CSS in HTML5 Templtes

My advice: DON'T!!!

Throwing more code at a site is NEVER the right answer -- and between the idiotic BS HTML 5 code bloat you're going to have, you're going to rely on some idiotic garbage crutch for your CSS as well?!?

LESS, OOCSS, HTML/CSS frameworks (like bootstrap or yui), scripting frameworks (jquery, mootools) -- it's all pointless extra crap that if you 'need' or offers anything resembling an 'improvement' probably means you're doing something WRONG!

Put your effort towards minimalist semantic markup, separation of presentation from content and properly leveraging inheritance, and you'll find things like "LESS" to be nothing more than a complete waste of time and effort.

Much like jquery, Dreamweaver, HTML 5, and a whole host of other BS, I cannot fathom how or why anyone would choose to use it apart from ignorance, laziness, or just plain wishful thinking! As to the people who come up with this type of nube predation, it would be great if we could just line them all up against a wall Red Dawn style.
