Example usage of Handlebars.registerHelper("foreach"... from http://stackoverflow.com/a/12002281/194105
Handlebars.registerHelper("foreach",function(arr,options) {
if(options.inverse && !arr.length)
return options.inverse(this);
return arr.map(function(item,index) {
item.$index = index;
item.$first = index === 0;
item.$last = index === arr.length-1;
return options.fn(item);

font-size in rem and a tool for absolute to em conversion. http://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/less-mixin-for-rem-font-sizing/
// Inspired by this post from CSS-Tricks.
// http://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/less-mixin-for-rem-font-sizing/
//
// Plays nice with compass/typography/vertical_rhythm
// http://compass-style.org/reference/compass/typography/vertical_rhythm/
//
// Calculates font size in `rem` (root em).
//
// Relative values depends on $base-font-size. Pixle value for font-size depends
// on $legacy-support-for-ie6 or $legacy-support-for-ie7 or $legacy-support-for-ie8

Sass/Less Comparison

In this document I am using Sass's SCSS syntax. You can choose to use the indented syntax in sass, if you prefer it, it has no functional differences from the SCSS syntax.

For Less, I'm using the JavaScript version because this is what they suggest on the website. The ruby version may be different.
