-## Known limitations
-
-Includes which are added through a preprocessor token are not recognized.
-For example the following won't be analyzed properly:
-
-```cpp
-#define INCLUDE_PATH "some/header.h"
-#include INCLUDE_PATH
-```
-
 ## Applying automatic fixes
 
 DWYU offers a tool to automatically fix some detected problems.
