+The @racketmodname[scribble/text] and @racketmodname[scribble/html]
+languages act as ``preprocessor'' languages for generating text or
+HTML. These preprocessor languages use the same @"@" syntax as the
+main Scribble tool (see @other-doc['(lib
+"scribblings/scribble/scribble.scrbl")]), but instead of working in
+terms of a document abstraction that can be rendered to text and HTML
+(and other formats), the preprocessor languages work in a way that is
+more specific to the target formats.
