.less and css “padding: @reference”

Question

I am configuring a Magento theme which uses .less files and compiles these to .css for the frontend.

And here I'm trying to change the padding on an element which is:

.pad-main {
    padding: @cpanel-home-main-block-padding;
}

Where could @cpanel-home-main-block-padding be referencing to, is this another .less file? I cannot find this, any help is appreciated.

Thank you, Matt

Answer 1

It is pointing to a less variable. You could search for the name of the variable in less files. It may be pointing to one the imported less files.
