wrap a .less css definitions in a namespace

Question

I wanted to use twitter bootstrap CSS only in a specific element in my web page.

I tried to do it like in code below. But after compiling this to a css file nothing

Answer 1

Here is how I did it, based on majgis's github fork above:

bootstrap-ns.less:

@import "namespace.less"
.bs {
    #ns > .twitter;
    }

namespace.less:

#ns {
  .twitter(){
    @import "bootstrap.less";
  }
}

You then reference bootstrap-ns.less in your html page. This was tested with dotLESS.
