 <h2>Assemblies</h2>
 
+       <p>Code in .NET and Mono is distributed in assemblies, there
+       are shipped typically in files with the extension .exe or
+       .dll, and they are files that extend
+       the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Executable">Portable
+       Executable</a> file format to include the Common Intermediate
+       Language metadata and portable code.
+
+       <p>Assemblies are typically loaded either from a given file
+       path, or using an <a href="#assembly-name">Assembly Name</a>
+       to load them from the Global Assembly Cache.

+
+       <p>Assemblies contain one or
+       more images, the actual vessels for your code.
+       The <a href="mono-api-image.html">Image API</a> documents the
