-== The Big Picture
+== AsciiDoc Processing and Built-in Converters
 
-Asciidoctor reads content written in plain text, as shown in the panel on the left in the image below, and converts it to HTML5, as shown rendered in the right panel.
-Asciidoctor applies a default stylesheet to the HTML5 document to provide a pleasant out-of-the-box experience.
+AsciiDoc is the language. +
+Asciidoctor is the processor.
 
-image::{image-uri-screenshot}[Preview of AsciiDoc source and corresponding rendered HTML]
+Asciidoctor reads the AsciiDoc source, as shown in the panel on the left in the image below, and converts it to publishable formats, such as HTML 5, as shown rendered in the panel on the right.
 
-== AsciiDoc Processing
+image::{image-url-screenshot}[Preview of AsciiDoc source and corresponding rendered HTML]
 
-Asciidoctor reads and parses text written in the AsciiDoc syntax, then feeds the parse tree to a set of built-in converters to produce HTML5, DocBook 5, and man(ual) page output.
-You have the option of using your own converter or loading {uri-tilt}[Tilt]-supported templates to customize the generated output or produce additional formats.
+Asciidoctor provides built-in {url-docs}/asciidoctor/latest/converters/[converters] for three output formats by default: {url-docs}/asciidoctor/latest/html-backend/[HTML 5], {url-docs}/asciidoctor/latest/docbook-backend/[DocBook 5], and {url-docs}/asciidoctor/latest/manpage-backend/[man page] (short for manual page).
+Additional converters, such as PDF and EPUB 3, are provided by separate gems.
+Asciidoctor also provides an out-of-the-box HTML experience complete with a {url-docs}/asciidoctor/latest/html-backend/default-stylesheet/[default stylesheet] and built-in integrations like Font Awesome (for icons), highlight.js, Rouge, and Pygments (for source highlighting), and MathJax (for STEM processing).
 
-Asciidoctor is a drop-in replacement for its predecessor, AsciiDoc Python (`asciidoc.py`).
-The Asciidoctor test suite has {uri-tests}[> 2,350 tests] to ensure compatibility with the AsciiDoc syntax.
+== Asciidoctor Ecosystem
 
-In addition to the classic AsciiDoc syntax, Asciidoctor recognizes additional markup and formatting options, such as font-based icons (e.g., `+icon:fire[]+`) and UI elements (e.g., `+button:[Save]+`).
-Asciidoctor also offers a modern, responsive theme based on {uri-foundation}[Foundation] to style the HTML5 output.
+Although Asciidoctor is written in Ruby, it does not mean you need Ruby to use it.
+Asciidoctor can be executed on a JVM using {url-docs}/asciidoctorj/latest/[AsciidoctorJ] or in any JavaScript environment (including the browser) using {url-docs}/asciidoctor.js/latest/[Asciidoctor.js].
 
-== Where Ruby goes, Asciidoctor follows
+Installing an Asciidoctor processor is just the beginning of your publishing experience.
+Asciidoctor gives you access to a ecosystem of extensions and tools, ranging from add-on converters, to extended syntax, to build plugins, to integrated writing and preview environments:
 
-You can run Asciidoctor on the JVM using JRuby.
-To invoke the Asciidoctor API directly from Java and other JVM languages, use {uri-asciidoctorj}[AsciidoctorJ].
-There are plugins available for {uri-maven-plugin}[Apache Maven], {uri-gradle-plugin}[Gradle], and {uri-asciidoclet}[Javadoc], which allow you to integrate AsciiDoc processing directly into your build using AsciidoctorJ.

-Asciidoctor.js is a fully-functional version of Asciidoctor that works in any JavaScript environment, such as a web browser or Node.js.
-It's used to power the AsciiDoc preview extensions for Chrome, Atom, Brackets and other web-based tooling.
