Overview

A filter that accepts a series of inputs and translates them using the Tilt template interface, which will attempt to guess which template language to use based on the input file extension.

Requires less-js

Examples:

Rake::Pipeline.build do
  input "app/assets", "**/*.less"
  output "public"

  # Compile each less file with Less.js
  filter Rake::Pipeline::Web::Filters::LessFilter
end
