 document.  In program source code, tags reference syntactic elements
 of the program: functions, subroutines, data types, macros, etc.  In a
 document, tags reference chapters, sections, appendices, etc.  Each
-tag specifies the file name on which the corresponding subunit is
+tag specifies the name of the file where the corresponding subunit is
 defined, and the position of the subunit's definition in that file.
 
   A @dfn{tags table} records the tags extracted by scanning the source
 code of a certain program or a certain document.  Tags extracted from
-generated files reference subunits in the original files, rather than
-the generated files that were scanned during tag extraction.  Examples
-of generated files include C files generated from Cweb source files,
-from a Yacc parser, or from Lex scanner definitions; @file{.i}
-preprocessed C files; and Fortran files produced by preprocessing
-@file{.fpp} source files.

-  To produce tags tables, you use the @samp{etags} command, submitting
-it a document or the source code of a program.  @samp{etags} writes
-the tags to files called @dfn{tags table files}, or @dfn{tags file} in
-short.  The conventional name for a tags file is @file{TAGS}.

   Emacs uses the information recorded in tags tables in commands that
 search or replace through multiple source files: these commands use
