Hi,

I just wanted to use the attr function in a less file to output the value of a namespace attribute. Using a css file the same works fine but within a less file I get an error message:

[CSS]:Error: ParseError: Unrecognised input in ... (jar:file:/C:/Program%20Files/Oxygen%20XML%20Editor%2017.1/lib/oxygen.jar!/builtin/js/less/lessc-rhino-1.7.5.js#61)

My css code looks like this:

Code: Select all

@namespace cba "http://www.dita-semia.org/conbat";



*[class~="topic/sl"][cba|prefix]:before(5) {

	display			: block;

	content			: attr(cba|prefix);

}

When using the same code in a css file it works fine. The problem is, that I wanted to use variables and, thus, need to use less. Is there any restriction with namespaces in less files I'm not aware of?

Thanks and regards,
Patrik

Hi Patrik,

The Javascript LESS compiler we are using:

http://lesscss.org/

has its limitations. We'll look into this though.
It seems that at a first glance you could use quotes around the attribute name like:

Code: Select all

  content: attr("cba|prefix");

Radu

Hi Radu,

using quotes completely solved this problem for me, thanks!
