Leaner CSS in WebStorm & PhpStorm 2.0

Egor Malyshev

LESS provides an extension to CSS with variables, mixins, operations and nested rules, and uses CSS syntax.
As many of you are already using it in your everyday coding, we’ve added some nice things to boost your productivity with LESS in the upcoming WebStorm 2.0 & PhpStorm 2.0.

What’s in?

LESS syntax highlighting
On-the-fly syntax checking
All the brilliant CSS editing features are available for LESS as well
LESS variables support with code completion, one-click go to declaration, usages search and rename refactoring!

All this cool staff is already available in the Early Access Preview build of WebStorm & PhpStorm, as well as in new versions of other JetBrains IDEs such as RubyMine for Ruby and PyCharm for Python.

Develop with pleasure!
