-<h3>What is a DVI file?</h3>
-<p/>A DVI file (that is, a file with the type or extension
-<code>.dvi</code>) is TeX&#8217;s main output file, when we use
-&#8220;original&#8221; TeX (later TeX systems, such as PDFTeX &#8212; see
-<a href="FAQ-whatpdftex.html">PDFTeX</a> may use other formats).
-<p/>&#8216;DVI&#8217; is supposed to
-be an acronym for DeVice-Independent, meaning
-that the file can be processed for printing or viewing on most
-kinds of typographic output device or display. The DVI file
-may be processed by a <a href="FAQ-driver.html">DVI driver</a> to produce
-further output designed specifically for a particular printer, or it
-may be used by a previewer for display on a computer screen.
-DVI files use an internal coding designed for TeX; a TeX
-input file should produce the same DVI file regardless of which
-implementation of TeX is used to produce it.
-<p/>A DVI file contains all the information that is needed for printing
-or previewing except for the actual bitmaps or outlines of fonts, and
-possibly material to be introduced by means of
-<a href="FAQ-specials.html"><code>\</code><code>special</code> commands</a>.
-<p/>The canonical reference for the structure of a DVI file is the
-source of Knuth&#8217;s program <i>dvitype</i> (whose original purpose,
-as its name implies, was to view the content of a DVI file).
