+  <title>NASM Parser</title>
+
+  <para>NASM syntax, selected with <option>-p nasm</option>, is the
+   most full-featured syntax supported by Yasm.  Yasm is nearly 100%
+   compatible with NASM for 16-bit and 32-bit x86 code.  Yasm
+   additionally supports 64-bit AMD64 code with Yasm extensions to the
+   NASM syntax; see
+
+   <citerefentry>
+    <refentrytitle>yasm_arch</refentrytitle>
+    <manvolnum>7</manvolnum>
+   </citerefentry>
+   
+   for details.  NASM syntax is the Yasm default.</para>

+  <title>GAS Parser</title>
+
+  <para>The GNU Assembler (GAS) is the de-facto cross-platform
+   assembler for modern Unix systems, and is used as the backend for
+   the GCC compiler.  Yasm's support for GAS syntax is moderately
+   good, although immature: not all directives are supported, and only
+   32-bit x86 and AMD64 architectures are supported.  Nearly all of
+   the GAS preprocessor is also supported.  Yasm's GAS syntax support
+   is good enough to handle essentially all x86 and AMD64 GCC compiler
+   output.  The GAS parser can be selected with <option>-p
+    gas</option>.</para>
