# LESS Variables and Mixins

To make using CoreCSS easier, you can use our LESS variables in which we define aspects like spacings or colors for easy reusability.

## How to use

If you download CoreCSS and unzip it, you will find the LESS variables and mixins under the `less` folder. From there, import the `corecss-exports.less` file into your project.

## Available categories of LESS variables

Use LESS variables to get the default values for

- colors
- font attributes like font size and weight
- media queries
- margins
- paddings

## Available categories of LESS mixins

Use LESS mixins to

- create columns, with column gaps and column spans
