+    <para>Spring introduces an expression language which is similar to Unified
+    EL in its syntax but offers significantly more feature. The expression
+    language can be used when defining XML and Annotation based bean
+    definitions and also serves as the foundation for expression language
+    support across the Spring portfolio. Details of this new functionality can
+    be found in the chapter <link linkend="expressions">Spring Expression
+    Language (SpEL).</link></para>
