# VIM-LESS

**This project is looking for new contributors / a new maintainer. [issue 51](https://github.com/groenewege/vim-less/issues/51)**

---

This vim bundle adds syntax highlighting, indenting and autocompletion for the dynamic stylesheet language [LESS](http://lesscss.org).

This bundle is compatible with [vim-css-color](https://github.com/skammer/vim-css-color),
[vim-css3-syntax](https://github.com/hail2u/vim-css3-syntax) and possibly other plugins that place code
in `after/syntax/css.vim` or `after/syntax/css/*.vim`.
