-6429/ANSI X3.64 terminal controls, plus certain private-mode sequences
+The Linux console implements a large subset of
+the VT102 and ECMA-48 / ISO/IEC\~6429 / ANSI X3.64 terminal controls,
+plus certain private-mode sequences
 for changing the color palette, character-set mapping, and so on.
 In the tabular descriptions below, the second column gives ECMA-48 or DEC
 mnemonics (the latter if prefixed with DEC) for the given function.
 Sequences without a mnemonic are neither ECMA-48 nor VT102.
-.PP
+.P
 After all the normal output processing has been done, and a
 stream of characters arrives at the console driver for actual
 printing, the first thing that happens is a translation from
 the code used for processing to the code used for printing.
-.PP
+.P
 If the console is in UTF-8 mode, then the incoming bytes are
 first assembled into 16-bit Unicode codes.
 Otherwise, each byte is transformed according to the current mapping table
 (which translates it to a Unicode value).
 See the \fBCharacter Sets\fP section below for discussion.
-.PP
+.P
 In the normal case, the Unicode value is converted to a font index,
 and this is stored in video memory, so that the corresponding glyph
 (as found in video ROM) appears on the screen.
 Note that the use of Unicode (and the design of the PC hardware)
 allows us to use 512 different glyphs simultaneously.
-.PP
+.P
 If the current Unicode value is a control character, or we are
 currently processing an escape sequence, the value will treated
 specially.
 Instead of being turned into a font index and rendered as
 a glyph, it may trigger cursor movement or other control functions.
 See the \fBLinux Console Controls\fP section below for discussion.
