+=TITLE Pragmas
+
+=SUBTITLE Special modules for special use
+
+In Perl 6 B<pragmas> are core modules used to either identify a
+specific version of Perl 6 to be used or to modify its normal behavior
+in some way.  They are "use"ed in your code just as normal modules:
+
+=begin code
+use v6;
+=end code
+
+Following is a list of pragmas with a short description of each
+pragma's purpose or a link to more details about its use.  (Note:
+Pragmas marked "NYI" are not yet implemented, and those marked "TBD"
+are to be defined later.)
+
+=comment The following should be a table but formatting in tables is
+not yet rendered properly.
