+<title>Nix Expressions</title>
+
+<partintro>
+<para>This chapter shows you how to write Nix expressions, which 
+instruct Nix how to build packages.  It starts with a
+simple example (a Nix expression for GNU Hello), and then moves
+on to a more in-depth look at the Nix expression language.</para>
+
+<note><para>This chapter is mostly about the Nix expression language.
+For more extensive information on adding packages to the Nix Packages
+collection (such as functions in the standard environment and coding
+conventions), please consult <link
+xlink:href="http://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/">its
+manual</link>.</para></note>
