Can Visual Studio 2013 generate CSS files from .less files?

Question

Visual Studio 2013 is awesome, now with syntax highlight and autocomplete for .less files. But does it also generate the respective CSS files? Do I need to install

Answer 1

Yes, Visual Studio 2013 doesn't come with a LESS compiler built-in so you'll need to bring your own. You can either use an external compiler, or install an extension so you can compile your LESS files from within the IDE.
