I'd start with that and expand it a bit.

How do you mean? Please elaborate. Or better: propose a patch.

The description starts by describing what less.js wrt LESS and LESS 2.0 and then explains what LESS is; this should probably be the other way around.

Also, “a macro language to produce CSS files” is a bit concise and doesn't say much to someone that doesn't know what LESS exactly is (like me). Maybe you should describe LESS in a few words.

Thanks.  I get it now.

LESS and Sass is close competitors. I have now basically borrowed the long description of libtext-sass-perl and done s/Perl/JavaScript/g and s/Sass/LESS/g :-)

...and in case you wonder why I package both:

Personally I favor Sass, would like to see it supported in ikiwiki, and as a step towards that I packaged the Perl implementation (since Joey is keen on keeping ikiwiki pure Perl).

I am packaging the JavaScript-based "Facebook-killer" diaspora-x², and it rely on less.js.


Thanks for your help!
