-     Velocity is a Java-based template engine. It permits anyone to use
-     a simple yet powerful template language to reference objects
-     defined in Java code.
-  </p>
- 
-  <p>
-     When Velocity is used for web development, Web designers can work in
-     parallel with Java programmers to develop web sites according to the
-     Model-View-Controller (MVC) model, meaning that web page designers
-     can focus solely on creating a site that looks good, and programmers
-     can focus solely on writing top-notch code. Velocity separates Java
-     code from the web pages, making the web site more maintainable over
-     its lifespan and providing a viable alternative to <a
-     href="http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/">Java Server Pages</a>
-     (JSPs) or <a href="http://www.php.net/">PHP</a>.
-  </p>
- 
-  <p>
-     Velocity's capabilities reach well beyond the realm of the web;
-     for example, it can be used to generate SQL, PostScript and XML
-     (see <a href="docs/anakia.html">Anakia</a> for more information on
-     XML transformations) from templates.  It can be used either as a
-     standalone utility for generating source code and reports, or as
-     an integrated component of other systems.  For instance, Velocity
-     provides template services for the <a
-     href="http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/">Turbine</a> web
-     application framework, together resulting in a view engine
-     facilitating development of web applications according to a true
-     MVC model.
