Less unit()

The Less unit function is used to change or remove the unit of dimension. Less supports several number of measurement units like inches, centimeters, points etc.

Parameter:

? dimension: It is used to specify a number with or without dimension.

Less file: simple.less

Put the both file ?simple.html? and ?simple.less? inside the root folder of Node.js

Now, execute the following code: lessc simple.less simple.css

This will compile the "simple.less" file. A CSS file named "simple.css" will be generated.

For example:

The generated CSS "simple.css", has the following code:
