Is the HTML editor compatible with .LESS files? I have had trouble saving (and then compiling) .LESS files. I thought they were just UTF-8 or ANSI text files, but apparently there is something different about them. Never had any problem with .css files.
thank you

I asked about the same some time ago and got the reply: 'it's doable'. In other words, Not yet. This was my question:
So you can make the Editor OPEN the files, but any preview will have to be in the browser.
I'm looking into .less files and tried opening one in the Editor. It opened after I had added the file extension in 'Files' in Preferences, but the Editor was no able to make use of it when I tried previewing a html file with a head link to the .less file.

I think that LESS files must be saved in "UTF-8 without BOM" format. After that you need a compiler or an interpreter to convert them to css.
Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
