Revision of Less Variables for Typographical Elements
1 Requirements
1.1 Context
Less (maybe in future versions SASS) Variables are a great way the give Less files a more coherent structure. Bootstrap provides a great number of variables in it's variables.less files. Some of those variables are used in ILIAS but not nearly all. With ILIAS 5.2 there might be a possibility to edit less variables and so create new skins directly in the frontend. This only works well, if the less variables are properly set.
1.2 Goal
- Enhance the set of less variables in use based on the less variables provided by bootstrap.
- Clearly describe the role and context for each variable and set the proper dependencies (which variable depends on which).
- Introduce new variables for properties not covered by the bootstrap variables to make important ILIAS elements (like header, footer etc.) completely configurable by less variables.
- Clearly structure the less variables file with sections, description of sections, variables and description of variables.
- Introduce those variables in the proper places in the less files of ILIAS.
1.3 Steps
We intend to perform this project in two major steps:
- Propose less variables and their structure in close cooperation with the Kitchen Sink group (goals 1-4).
- Introduce those less variables in the Less files (goal 5).
