+<h2 class="chapter">10 Traditional Mode</h2>
+
+<p>Traditional (pre-standard) C preprocessing is rather different from
+the preprocessing specified by the standard. When the preprocessor
+is invoked with the
+<samp>-traditional-cpp</samp> option, it attempts to emulate a traditional
+preprocessor.
+</p>
+<p>This mode is not useful for compiling C code with GCC,
+but is intended for use with non-C preprocessing applications. Thus
+traditional mode semantics are supported only when invoking
+the preprocessor explicitly, and not in the compiler front ends.
+</p>
+<p>The implementation does not correspond precisely to the behavior of
+early pre-standard versions of GCC, nor to any true traditional preprocessor.
+After all, inconsistencies among traditional implementations were a
+major motivation for C standardization. However, we intend that it
+should be compatible with true traditional preprocessors in all ways
+that actually matter.
