We use .less files (compiled using simplyLess or WinLess) to generate .css files. Visual Studio 2012 doesn’t have syntax highlighting for .less files. I know that I can create a .hlx file in the \msdev\bin\ide folder that will handle syntax highlighting for this extension.

I’m wondering if anyone has already done this and there is an existing .hlx file out there?

Mike
