+The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is

-Another piece is the `Clang <http://clang.llvm.org/>`_ front end.  This
+C-like languages use the `Clang <http://clang.llvm.org/>`_ front end.  This
 component compiles C, C++, Objective C, and Objective C++ code into LLVM bitcode
 -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
 
-There are other components as well:
+Other components include:
 the `libc++ C++ standard library <https://libcxx.llvm.org>`_,
 the `LLD linker <https://lld.llvm.org>`_, and more.

+Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM
+=========================================
 
-The LLVM Getting Started documentation may be out of date.  So, the `Clang
-Getting Started <http://clang.llvm.org/get_started.html>`_ page might also be a
-good place to start.
