import .css file into .less file

Question

Can you import .css files into .less files...?

Answer 1

From the LESS website:

If you want to import a CSS file, and don’t want LESS to process it, just use the .css extension:

@import "lib.css"; The directive will just be left as is, and end up in the CSS output.

As jitbit points out in the comments below, this is really only useful for development purposes, as you wouldn't want to have unnecessary @imports consuming precious bandwidth.
