-This chapter contains port specific notes.
+wxWidgets defines a common API across platforms, but uses the native graphical
+user interface (GUI) on each platform, so your program will take on the native
+look and feel that users are familiar with. Unfortunately native toolkits and
+hardware do not always support the functionality that the wxWidgets API
+requires. This chapter collects notes about differences among supported platforms and ports.

+It's sometimes useful to interface directly with the underlying toolkit
+used by wxWidgets to e.g. use toolkit-specific features.
+In such case (or when you want to e.g. write a port-specific patch) it can be
+necessary to use the underlying toolkit API directly:
