Perhaps I can shed some light on a few things for [@keeperbay](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keeperbay/). * First, Bootstrap is an HTML/CSS/JS framework for building sites, even WordPress themes. Basically it provides folks with well styled and documented components so they can build things faster. It’s mobile first and responsive, meaning it works great on your phone and all the way up to your laptop/desktop. * Second, the minified CSS is a super great way to serve up your CSS in a production environment. The purpose of minified CSS is to reduce file size and concatenate( combine) multiple files into one. For themes, and folks who are looking to build on existing CSS like those in WordPress, it’s obviously a bit tougher to work with. * You have a couple options though for dealing with that. You could appeal to the theme designer to provide the unminified CSS. You could also copy-paste the minified CSS into a CSS linter, which could reformat all the code for readability. * Lastly, not all CSS is expected to validate (at least to the W3C’s validation specs). In Bootstrap in particular, we have to support lots of odd browser behavior. Sometimes that requires browser hacks and weird syntax that chokes the validators and parsers. There’s little we can do about that, but the CSS does work. * Hope that helps! If you do find an issue in Bootstrap, give our bug tracker on GitHub a search.
