Research direction

Start with the README and the reported lessc commands, including the --autoprefix and .browserslistrc examples. Compare their behavior with the working postcss invocation and verify how the browsers value is passed; done means the documented command honors the browser definition and its expected prefixes are produced.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Can you, please, give an actual example in the readme of running lessc? Either I'm using it incorrectly, or it is not working.

When I try

lessc --autoprefix="ff 50" style.less

or

lessc --autoprefix=".browserslistrc" style.less

I still get the -webkit-, -ms- prefixes. It seems the parameter is completely ignored.

If I use

postcss --use autoprefixer -o out.css style_in.css

with ff 50 line inside .browserslistrc, I get only the -moz- prefix, so ff 50 is a valid browser definition.

It would be even better if I .browserslistrc would get loaded by default.
