How can I automate CSS preprocessing in my web projects?

You can automate CSS preprocessing by using tools like Sass, Less, or PostCSS along with task runners like Gulp or Webpack.

Sass offers features like variables, nesting, and mixins, which help in writing more maintainable and reusable CSS.

Can you give me an example of a simple Sass file?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

$primary-color: #333;

body {
  color: $primary-color;
  font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
}
