     <h1 >Bindings for other languages</h1>
 
     <p>
-      Libvirt comes with bindings to support other languages than
-      pure <strong>C</strong>. First the headers embeds the necessary
-      declarations to allow direct access from <strong>C++</strong>
-      code, but also we have bindings for higher level kind of languages:
+      Libvirt supports C and C++ directly, and has bindings available
+      for other languages:
