IDE for css.less files dreamweaver

Question

I'm using lesscss, the 'framework/compiler' for css. My IDE, dreamweaver, does not recognize .less as CSS. So no niceties such as error checking or code completion there. Is there anything I can do about that?

Answer 1

Dreamweaver can be configured to recognize "new" filetypes and treat them as editable under preferences. You can also edit some config files to help DreamWeaver figure out how to treat the files so it does code highlighting, etc., though in my experience, it does not always work as you would expect. On the other hand, can lesscss be configured to output .css files?

Here's an Adobe article on getting Dreamweaver to add new file types. http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/164/tn_16410.html
