+One additional directive, @code{LOCAL}, is available.  It is used to
+generate a string replacement for each of the @var{name} arguments, and
+replace any instances of @var{name} in each macro expansion.  The
+replacement string is unique in the assembly, and different for each
+separate macro expansion.  @code{LOCAL} allows you to write macros that
+define symbols, without fear of conflict between separate macro expansions.
+
+@item String delimiters
+You can write strings delimited in these other ways besides
+@code{"@var{string}"}:
+
+@table @code
+@item '@var{string}'
+You can delimit strings with single-quote characters.
+
+@item <@var{string}>
+You can delimit strings with matching angle brackets.
+@end table
+
+@item single-character string escape
+To include any single character literally in a string (even if the
+character would otherwise have some special meaning), you can prefix the
+character with @samp{!} (an exclamation mark).  For example, you can
+write @samp{<4.3 !> 5.4!!>} to get the literal text @samp{4.3 > 5.4!}.
