When editing LESS files, you can compile the files into CSS. Oxygen XML Editor provides
both manual and automatic options to compile LESS stylesheets into CSS.
You have two options for compiling LESS files to CSS:
- Use the contextual menu in a LESS file and select Compile to CSS (Ctrl Shift C
(Command Shift C on OS X)).
- Enable the option Automatically compile LESS to CSS when saving
in the settings. To do so, open the
Preferences dialog box and
go to . If enabled, when you save a LESS file it will automatically be compiled to
CSS (this option is disabled by default).
Important: If this option is enabled,
when you save a LESS file, the CSS file that has the same name as the LESS file is
overwritten without warning. Make sure all your changes are made in the LESS file. Do
not edit the CSS file directly, as your changes might be lost.
