 ### Text Escapes
 
-Unlike other languages, backslash is *not* a special character inside of text.
-For example, `"x\ny"` has the characters `x`, `\`, `n`, `y`, not a newline.
-Instead, a series of character escapes act as complete text literals without
-quotation marks:
-
-```
-newline := \n
-crlf := \r\n
-quote := \"
-```
-
-These text literals can be used as interpolation values with or without
-parentheses, depending on which you find more readable:
-
-```
-two_lines := "one\ntwo"
-has_quotes := "some $\"quotes$\" here"
-```
-
-However, in general it is best practice to use multi-line text to avoid these problems:
