-        String Interpolation allows users to embed variable references directly in processed string literals. Here’s an example:
-          <pre><code>val name = "James"
-          println(s"Hello, $name")  // Hello, James</code></pre>
-        In the above, the literal <code>s"Hello, $name"</code> is a processed string literal. This means that the compiler does some additional work to this literal. A processed string literal is denoted by a set of characters preceding the ". String interpolation was introduced by SIP-11, which contains all details of the implementation.

       description: "These pages describe the architecture of the Scala collections framework in detail. Compared to the Collections API you will find out more about the internal workings of the framework. You will also learn how this architecture helps you define your own collections in a few lines of code, while reusing the overwhelming part of collection functionality from the framework."

+      description: "To ease the migration from Scala Actors to Akka we have provided the Actor Migration Kit (AMK). The AMK consists of an extension to Scala Actors which is enabled by including the scala-actors-migration.jar on a project’s classpath. In addition, Akka 2.1 includes features, such as the ActorDSL singleton, which enable a simpler conversion of code using Scala Actors to Akka. The purpose of this document is to guide users through the migration process and explain how to use the AMK."

The trait hierarchy is taken into account to structure the individual sections. The focus is on the run-time behavior of the various methods that these traits define, thereby complementing the existing Scaladoc-based API documentation."
