A quoted string is a sequence of characters surrounded by the quotes ` and ', where the number of start and end quotes within the string balances. The value of a string token is the text, with one level of quotes stripped off. Thus
`'
is the empty string, and
``quoted''
is the string
`quoted'
The quote characters can be changed at any time, using the builtin macro
changequote. See section Changing the quote characters for more information.
