+**********************************
+Structured Markup Processing Tools
+**********************************
+
+Python supports a variety of modules to work with various forms of structured
+data markup. This includes modules to work with the Standard Generalized Markup
+Language (SGML) and the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), and several interfaces
+for working with the Extensible Markup Language (XML).
+
+It is important to note that modules in the :mod:`xml` package require that
+there be at least one SAX-compliant XML parser available. Starting with Python
+2.3, the Expat parser is included with Python, so the :mod:`xml.parsers.expat`
+module will always be available. You may still want to be aware of the `PyXML
+add-on package <http://pyxml.sourceforge.net/>`_; that package provides an
+extended set of XML libraries for Python.
+
+The documentation for the :mod:`xml.dom` and :mod:`xml.sax` packages are the
+definition of the Python bindings for the DOM and SAX interfaces.
