+### Custom Preprocessor Configuration
+
+Like renderers, preprocessor will need to be given its own table (e.g. `[preprocessor.mathjax]`). 
+In the section, you may then pass extra configuration to the preprocessor by adding key-value pairs to the table.
+
+For example
+
+```
+[preprocess.links]
+# set the renderers this preprocessor will run for
+renderers = ["html"]
+some_extra_feature = true
+```
+
+#### Locking a Preprocessor dependency to a renderer
+
+You can explicitly specify that a preprocessor should run for a renderer by binding the two together.
+
+```
+[preprocessor.mathjax]
+renderers = ["html"]  # mathjax only makes sense with the HTML renderer
+```
+
+## Configuring Renderers
+
 ### HTML renderer options
+
 The HTML renderer has a couple of options as well. All the options for the
 renderer need to be specified under the TOML table `[output.html]`.
