\section{\class{wxString}}\label{wxstring}
wxString is a class representing a character string. Please see the
-\helpref{wxString overview}{wxstringoverview} for more information about it. As explained
-there, wxString implements about 90\% of methods of the std::string class (iterators
-are not supported, nor all methods which use them).
-These standard functions are not documented in this manual so please see the STL documentation.

+As explained there, wxString implements most of the methods of the std::string

The behaviour of all these functions is identical to the behaviour described

The default comparison function \helpref{Cmp}{wxstringcmp} is case-sensitive and
insensitive comparisons you should use \helpref{CmpNoCase}{wxstringcmpnocase} or
give a second parameter to IsSameAs. This last function is may be more
convenient if only equality of the strings matters because it returns a boolean
-true value if the strings are the same and not 0 (which is usually false in C)
+\true value if the strings are the same and not 0 (which is usually false in C)
as {\tt Cmp()} does.
