In words, a string literal is bounded by quotes and contains any string of graphics, except that when quotes occur inside, they occur in adjacent pairs. Each such adjacent quote pair denotes a single quote in the value denoted by strlit, whereas any other graphic between the bounding quotes denotes itself. An empty string is denoted by exactly two quotes.
