-<p>Ardour does not come with any built-in signal processors of its own
-  (other than volume faders) but does ship with a small group of
-  plugins starting at Ardour 5.0. The shipped plugins are listed as authored by "Ardour Team"
-  and named with "a-" as the start of the name (Like a-EQ) or Authored by
-  "Ardour LUA Task Force" in which case they are example (but still useful)
-  LUA scripts. The included plugins are LV2 or LUA scripts and use
-  Ardour's generic GUI. They work on all supported platforms so that
-  projects started on one platform will sound the same on another platform
-  if they use just these plugins or other plugins that
-  are cross platform.
-  They are written by 3rd parties, though we do provide <a href="/working-with-plugins/getting-plugins/">some
-  information on how to get them</a>.
