Tapeystry 5.4-b3 less support?

[Michael Wyraz <mi...@evermind.de>]

Hi,

I have read that t5.4 supports server-side less-css but I did not find 
any documentation. Where can I read about how it is used?

Especially I'm interested in using bootstrap + some other css as "less" 
version and put all color definitions and such to a central place.

Kind regards,
Michael.

Seems that I have somehow change the coreStack which is set up in 
JavaScriptModule.setupCoreJavaScriptStack. If I would do that - how 
could I provide global less variables to all less files? Or do I have to 
include it in all less resources?

What, you expect documentation, too ... what an ingrate!  :-)

The Less support is part of the tapestry-webresources module.  Mostly it
just works; just point Tapestry at your .less file and it will compile it
as needed.

It's slightly trickier to replace Tapestry's built-in bootstrap.css with
bootstrap.less, but still quite doable ... some of the tests in
tapestry-webresources do just that, so that might be a good starting point
on how to manage it.
