Yes. While Visual Studio 2013 doesn&#39;t come with a LESS compiler built-in (so you&#39;ll need to bring your own), you can either use an external compiler, or install an extension so you can compile your LESS files from within the IDE.

**If you don&#39;t want to install plugins in your Visual Studio**, you can use an external compiler.

Currently I&#39;m using [Koala][1], every time you save your LESS file he will compile it automatically in your output folder. 

Take a look at the official LESS page about [GUI Compilers][2].

I had trouble compiling Bootstrap LESS (after installing the Twitter.Bootstrap.Less NuGet).

The trick with WebEssentials is to cause the bootstrap.less file to need saving (typing a space, then pressing delete is sufficient), then saving it. The corresponding .css, .min.css and css.map files are automatically generated and appear nested under the .less file in Solution Explorer.

Easy:

 1. Tools-&gt;Extensions and Updates-&gt; Install Web Extension Pack(Mads Kristensen&#39;s)
 2. On Project, Add-&gt;New Item-&gt; Less Style Sheet 
 3. Edit the .less and save the file 
 4. Right Click on the .less file-&gt; Web Compiler-&gt; Re-Compile File

Afterwards the resulting .css file will be generated on every file save.

Another small tool to compile LESS after it has been saved is WinLess.

Not much options but small and simple. And it does the job!

http://www.winless.org/

Don&#39;t know what the experience of other users is, but WebEssentials 2013 does not work well on my machine with Visual Studio 2013 (Ultimate) and the settings, well... No UI and can&#39;t turn features completely off which i don&#39;t want to use.


You can also use Chirpy which allows editing of many modern web technologies that MS missed.

The following alerts `2` every time.

    function timer() {
        for (var i = 0; i &lt; 3; ++i) {
            var j = i;
            setTimeout(function () {
                alert(j);
            }, 1000);
        }
    }
    
    timer();

Shouldn&#39;t `var j = i;` set the `j` into the individual scope of the setTimeout?

Whereas if I do this:

    function timer() {
        for (var i = 0; i &lt; 3; ++i) {
            (function (j) {
                setTimeout(function () {
                    alert(j);
                }, 1000);
            })(i);
        }
    }
    
    timer();

It alerts `0`, `1`, `2` like it should.

Is there something I am missing?

What is wrong with my javascript scope?

There are two different git branches. In one the development is going in (Branch1).

In other branch some PoC work is going on (Branch2). Now, I want to cherry-pick the changes from Branch1 to Branch2, so that Branch2 is up to date.

Now, after cherry-picking 4 or 5 changes, I am getting some merge conflict and I am unable to proceed with further cherry-picks.

Do, I need to resolve all the conflicts before proceeding to next cherry -pick or Can I somehow postpone the conflict resolution till I cherry-pick all the changes (and resolve all conflicts together)?

Further, is it suggested to do cherry-pick or branch merge in this case?

What is the difference among `col-lg-*` , `col-md-*` and `col-sm-*` in Twitter Bootstrap?

What is the difference among col-lg-*, col-md-* and col-sm-* in Bootstrap?

How could I make it so that a table inside a container with its own width does not follow the width of the container and instead, retain the table&#39;s width when it&#39;s not inside the container. I have a very wide table that I want to fit inside a col-md-9 container and it displays bad because it squeezes the table to fit to the container. I have tried `min-width` for the table but it is not flexible as adding more columns to my table will squeeze it again. Would it be possible to make the table&#39;s width auto while not following the parent&#39;s width?

    &lt;div class=&quot;col-md-9&quot; style=&quot;overflow-x: auto&quot;&gt;
        &lt;table class=&quot;table table-bordered&quot; style=&quot;width:auto&quot;&gt;
        &lt;tbody&gt;
            &lt;tr&gt;
              .... contents
            &lt;/tr&gt;
        &lt;tbody&gt;
        &lt;/table&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;

How to remove outline border from input button

I’ve been working on this the whole day but don’t come up with a solution. I have 3 columns in one row in a container.

1: right content – pull-right

2: navigation – pull-left

3: main content

What it looks on big screens:

    ------------------------------------------------
    |   Menu  |      Content      |  Right Content |
    ------------------------------------------------


What it should look like on smaller screens:

    ----------------------------
    |  Menu  |  Right Content  |
    |        |------------------
    |        |  Content        |
    ----------------------------


What it looks like now:

    ------------------
    | Right Content  |
    ------------------
    | Menu | Content |
    ------------------


I think it’s just a simple floating problem. But I tried out nearly all possibilities.

Bootstrap change div order with pull-right, pull-left on 3 columns

I&#39;m using the default navbar and a couple of the list items are dropdowns. I&#39;m not able to click the link that triggers the dropdown. I know that I could just add a duplicate link into the dropdown but I&#39;d rather not. Is it possible to make the head link a clickable link (not just a handle for the dropdown)?

For reference, see the first link in the dropdown below. I want users to be able to click it and actually go to the page it points to.

&lt;!-- language: lang-html --&gt;

    &lt;nav class=&quot;navbar navbar-fixed-top admin-menu&quot; role=&quot;navigation&quot;&gt;
      &lt;div class=&quot;navbar-header&quot;&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;
       &lt;!-- Collect the nav links, forms, and other content for toggling --&gt;
       &lt;div class=&quot;collapse navbar-collapse&quot; id=&quot;bs-example-navbar-collapse-1&quot;&gt;
         &lt;ul class=&quot;nav navbar-nav navbar-right&quot;&gt;
           &lt;li class=&quot;dropdown&quot;&gt;
             &lt;a class=&quot;dropdown-toggle&quot; data-toggle=&quot;dropdown&quot; href=&quot;#&quot;&gt;

               &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/page2&quot;&gt;Page2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
             &lt;/ul&gt;
           &lt;/li&gt;

Bootstrap 3: how to make head of dropdown link clickable in navbar

I have installed font-awesome 4.0.3 icons using `npm install`.

If I need to use it from node-modules how should I use it in html file?

If I need to edit the less file do I need to edit it in node-modules?

How to use font-awesome icons from node-modules

In our app, we have a preset list of colors that a user can be choose from and everything related to that user will have that color.

Throughout the app, we will have various modules with the color attached as a class name.

eg.

    &lt;div class=&quot;example_module green&quot;&gt;
      ...
    &lt;/div&gt;

We are using LESS for our CSS.

In a number of places we are doing things like this:

    .example_module.green { background: @green; }
    .example_module.red { background: @red; }
    .example_module.blue { background: @blue; }
    etc

I&#39;d like to be able to set all these color names as an array and iterate over them. If we add colors in the future, we only have to add it in one place. 

**Pseudo code:**

    @colors: [&#39;green&#39;, &#39;red&#39;, &#39;blue&#39;];

    for each @color in @colors {
      .example_module.@color { background: @color; }
    } 

Is something like this even supported in LESS?

Loop through array of variable names in Less

Trying to create a gulp task that will pipe a bunch of files from different folders through LESS and then output them to a folder based on the original source. Consider this folder structure:

    Project
    +-- /Module_A
    |   +- /less
    |   |  +- a.less
    |   +- a.css
    |
    +-- /Module_B
        +- /less
        |  +- b.less
        +- b.css

 Here&#39;s my gulpfile:

    var gulp = require(&#39;gulp&#39;);
    var gutil = require(&#39;gulp-util&#39;);
    var less = require(&#39;gulp-less&#39;);

    gulp.task(&#39;compileLess&#39;, function () {
      gulp.src(&#39;./*/less/*.less&#39;)
        .pipe(less())
        .pipe(gulp.dest( ??? ));
    });

    gulp.task(&#39;default&#39;, [&#39;compileLess&#39;]);

I know gulp.dest() expects a path to be passed in but in my example the path will be different based on the source file. So how can I grab the path from source, modify it and then pass it into gulp.dest()?

Or am I going about this the wrong way?

How can I use the path from gulp.src() in gulp.dest()?

I have following CSS rule in a Less file:

    .container {
      min-height: calc(100vh - 150px);
    }

Which doesn&#39;t work at all. I want to make container full window height and minus header, footer fixed height. 

How can I do that?

Is it possible to use vh minus pixels in a CSS calc()?

When I want to search files I use &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;,&lt;/kbd&gt;. The search box pops up and then I start typing. But the built-in preview just grabs whatever I have typed and opens the file. Even though I am still typing. 

I am trying to open a file called `report_vaccine`, but I only get as far as `report` when the preview opens the first selected report. This has rendered this form of quick file searching pretty much useless, which is frustrating because we have hundreds of procs, and scrolling through and manually finding the file is a huge pain. 

If there is a way to turn off preview, I would be fine with that. This command working properly is waaay more important to me than a preview of the file to be opened.

I don&#39;t have resharper. I think the command was like &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;Shift&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;t&lt;/kbd&gt;.  



How can I turn off Visual Studio 2013 Preview?

I have looked through many web pages on the new Git integration in VS 2013 and they do not deal with adding an existing solution to Github.  In fact I can&#39;t find much on using GitHub instead of Visual Studio Online.

Can anyone tell me how I start from an existing solution and add it to Github using the tools in VS 2013.


How do I add an existing Solution to GitHub from Visual Studio 2013

I have just installed Visual Studio 2013, created an MVC Web Application project and noticed a new file in the project template called Startup.cs.

I have installed Visual studio 2013 , and I have installed AnkhSvn-2.5.12266.msi for svn, but this &quot;Add-On&quot; is not available in Visual Studio. Why?

AnkhSvn is installed but not working in Visual Studio 2013

I installed VS2013 (v12.0.21005.1) and added ReSharper 8 (v8.0.2000.2660) a day or two ago. That day it was fine. Now I&#39;m lucky if I can get it to open one solution in a whole day. It opens OK by itself, but when I try and open a solution from within - via the menu - it hangs, badly. If I right-click a solution in Windows Explorer and &#39;open with VS 2013&#39;, it opens then hangs, in exactly the same way. Every now and again, for hours, I get a little notice that it&#39;s busy with something.

Anyone know what could be wrong, before I endure a reinstall that doesn&#39;t fix the problem?
