+====================================
+Customizing style.css file in Askbot
+====================================
+
+File style.css is produced by the `lesscss compiler <http://lesscss.org>`_ - ``lessc``.
+
+Please read documentation about the lesscss format.
+
+Compiling lesscss files
+=======================
+
+The following command will compile the lesscss source file,
+an option -x will produce compressed css file:
+
+    lessc file.lesscss -x > file.css
+
+Installing lesscss
+==================
+
+Make sure you have recent version of `node.js <http://nodejs.org>`_ - latest version preferred.
+More recent versions of node come with the tool called `npm <http://npmjs.org>`_,
+for earlier versions ``npm`` will need to be installed manually.
+
+To install lesscss, type:
+
+    sudo npm install less
