+<p>This chapter describes how to add a parser in C and the internal API of
+Universal Ctags.</p>
+<p>Before you start writing a parser in C, consider using <em>optlib parser</em>.
+Universal Ctags extends the functionality so extensively that it can implement
+most of functionality for the parser.
+See <a class="reference internal" href="man/ctags-optlib.7.html#ctags-optlib-7"><span class="std std-ref">ctags-optlib(7)</span></a> and <a class="reference internal" href="optlib.html#optlib"><span class="std std-ref">Extending ctags with Regex parser (optlib)</span></a> for details.</p>
+<p><em>optlib parser</em> is also suitable for prototyping of a parser in C.</p>
