The default preprocessor defined is described under "detect".

• less

  Installation on Ubuntu and Debian:

    $ sudo apt-get install npm
    $ sudo npm install -g less

• scss

  Sass makes CSS fun again. Sass is an extension of CSS3, adding nested rules, variables, mixins, selector inheritance, and more. See http://sass-lang.com for more information.

  Installation on Ubuntu and Debian:

    $ sudo apt-get install rubygems
    $ sudo gem install sass

This method will remove all preprocessors defined for an extension, or just a given $cb.
