 Turn your source code into one or more compiled outputs
 
-Royale provide a compiler and a command-line debugger to turn your source code into the required output. The compiler takes [AS3](features/as3) & [MXML](features/mxml) (and CSS) as inputs. 
+Royale provides a compiler (some call it a transpiler or cross-compiler) and a command-line debugger to turn your source code into compiled output you can share with users. The compiler takes [AS3](features/as3), [MXML](features/mxml), and CSS as inputs.

 ## User Guide
 
-The Royale Compiler does many things besides compile **MXML** and **ActionScript** into **JavaScript** and/or **SWF**. But if that's all you want to do, you can use the compiler with **Apache Maven**, **Apache Ant**, several **IDEs**, **NPM** and the command-line. Below are some pointers to getting started:
