Description mdunham918_ 2012-01-16 15:51:01 UTC 
Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.1 (Build 201112071828)
Operating System = Mac OS X version 10.7.2 running on x86_64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.6.0_29
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 20.4-b02-402

In 7.1 not in 7.0 in a CSS file:

If you have one error in your CSS file Netbeans will stop processing the file below where the error occurred. Also, for LESS CSS support could you please support tag nesting...

I can confirm this behaviour
Comment 2 stamina 2012-02-16 22:11:17 UTC 
It worked quite well on NB 7.0 (all errors were reset upon "}" character).

LessCss and similar projects are increasingly popular, why not to allow their markups? Maybe there should be two content types - CSS with proper markup, and Css-like for all css special markups, with just color coding and code completion.

Yes, there are some plugins, but they do not support CSS completition/hints.

LESS (and SASS etc) are very similar (see http://lesscss.org/), except for nesting, the use of mixins (like functions, .roundedCorner(3px) ) and variables (@baseFontSize). It would be great if that is supported too, it doesn't seem to different from php/js for example, except for the syntax (@ instead of $ etc)

Is https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=216509 a duplicate of this or this a duplicate that? If that makes sense?
Comment 6 Marek Fukala 2012-10-05 06:05:14 UTC 
yes, thanks.
