Well, I laughed out loud at the title, but this is a masterful treatise on macro quoting. Thank you. I try to relearn macro quoting once every year or so, and this is a definite bookmark. Very happy to see that there is no mention made of %NRBQUOTE. Personally, would love to see %NRBQUOTE officially deprecated. I think it only adds confusion to folks trying to learn macro quoting. Totally agree that %STR/%NRSTR/%SUPERQ and occasionally %BQUOTE are the full package. And the "can you see it?" test is one of my golden rules. Will be linking to this post often whenever macro quoting comes up in discussion forums. Great stuff!
