.....but an important one, IMO.
In the "String Formatting" section, not too far down from the top, there is a
simple example of formatting use...
#debug "This is one line.\nBut this is another"\n
It doesn't get much simpler than that! Yet it doesn't work (a fatal error)--at
least on the Windows platform. The final quote is in the wrong place. Here's a
corrected version...
#debug "This is one line.\nBut this is another\n"
Yeah, it's a small mistake, but an irritating one; this single non-working
example gave me ZERO confidence about string use (and #debug) when I first
started out, and I avoided them for a long time. (Is it possible that the
example was originally meant for a non-Windows environment?)
Here's the wiki page, BTW...

Won't work on other platforms either. Thanks for spotting this one.
