+As explained in :ref:`INTRO:GHDL`, `GHDL` is a compiler which translates `VHDL` files to machine code.
+Hence, the regular workflow is composed of three steps:
 
-* :ref:`Analysis:command`: convert design units (`VHDL` sources) to an internal
-  representation.
-* :ref:`Elaboration:command`: generate executable machine code for a target module

-* :ref:`Run:command`: execute the design to test the behaviour, generate

 The following tips might be useful:
 
-* Don't forget to select the version of the VHDL standard you want to use (see
-  :ref:`VHDL_standards`). The default is :option:`--std=93c <--std>`. Use
-  :option:`--std=08 <--std>` for VHDL-2008 (albeit not fully implemented).

-  * Use :option:`--ieee=synopsys <--ieee>` if your design depends on a non-standard
-    implementation of the IEEE library.
+  * Use :option:`--ieee=synopsys <--ieee>` if your design depends on a non-standard implementation of the IEEE library.
 
-  * Use :option:`-fexplicit` and :option:`-frelaxed-rules` if needed. For instance,

-    ordinary type (deprecated in VHDL 2000), you can use ``--std=08 -frelaxed-rules``.
