7.1 Three contexts for expansions: preformatted, normal and string

There are three contexts of interest, one is the normal context, the other is a special context, called the preformatted context and the last is the string context. The preformatted context occurs when the spacing between words is kept. This is the case, for example, in @display or @example regions, and in menu comments (see section Menu formatting). The preformatted regions are usually rendered in <pre> elements in HTML. The string context occurs when rendering strings without formatting elements, in comments or titles for example.
