\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.
+The behaviour of all these functions is identical to the behaviour described
+there.

+\membersection{Constructors and assignment operators}
+
+A strign may be constructed either from a C string, (some number of copies of)
+a single character or a wide (UNICODE) string. For all constructors (except the
+default which creates an empty string) there is also a corresponding assignment
+operator.
+
+\helpref{wxString}{wxstringconstruct}\\
+\helpref{operator $=$}{wxstringoperatorassign}\\
+\helpref{\destruct{wxString}}{wxstringdestruct}
+
+\membersection{String length}
+
+These functions return the string length and check whether the string is empty
+or empty it.
+
+\helpref{Len}{wxstringlen}\\
+\helpref{IsEmpty}{wxstringisempty}\\
+\helpref{operator!}{wxstringoperatornot}\\
+\helpref{Empty}{wxstringempty}\\
+\helpref{Clear}{wxstringclear}
+
+\membersection{Character access}
+
+Many functions in this section take a character index in the string. As with C
+strings and/or arrays, the indices start from $0$, so the first character of a
+string is string[$0$]. Attempt to access a character beyond the end of the
+string (which may be even $0$ if the string is empty) will provocate an assert
+failure in \helpref{debug build}{debuggingoverview}, but no checks are done in
+release builds.
+
+This section also contains both implicit and explicit conversions to C style
+strings. Although implicit conversion is quite convenient, it is advised to use
+explicit \helpref{c\_str()}{wxstringcstr} method for the sake of clarity. Also
+see \helpref{overview}{wxstringadvices} for the cases where it is necessary to
+use it.
+
+\helpref{GetChar}{wxstringgetchar}\\
+\helpref{GetWritableChar}{wxstringgetwritablechar}\\
+\helpref{SetChar}{wxstringsetchar}\\
+\helpref{Last}{wxstringlast}\\
+\helpref{operator []}{wxstringoperatorbracket}\\
+\helpref{c\_str}{wxstringcstr}\\
+\helpref{operator const char*}{wxstringoperatorconstcharpt}
+
+\membersection{Concatenation}
+
+Anything may be concatenated (appended to) with a string. However, you can't
+append something to a C string (including literal constants), so to do this it
+should be converted to a wxString first.
+
+\helpref{operator \cinsert}{wxstringoperatorout}\\
+\helpref{operator $+=$}{wxstringplusequal}\\
+\helpref{operator $+$}{wxstringoperatorplus}\\
+\helpref{Append}{wxstringappend}\\
+\helpref{Prepend}{wxstringprepend}
+
+\membersection{Comparison}
+
+The default comparison function \helpref{Cmp}{wxstringcmp} is case-sensitive and
+so is the default version of \helpref{IsSameAs}{wxstringissameas}. For case
+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)
+as {\tt Cmp()} does.
+
+\helpref{Matches}{wxstringmatches} is a poor man's regular expression matcher:
+it only understands '*' and '?' metacharacters in the sense of DOS command line
+interpreter.
+
+\helpref{StartsWith}{wxstringstartswith} is helpful when parsing a line of
+text which should start with some predefined prefix and is more efficient than
+doing direct string comparaison as you would also have to precalculate the
+length of the prefix then.
+
+\helpref{Cmp}{wxstringcmp}\\
+\helpref{CmpNoCase}{wxstringcmpnocase}\\
+\helpref{IsSameAs}{wxstringissameas}\\
+\helpref{Matches}{wxstringmatches}\\
+\helpref{StartsWith}{wxstringstartswith}
+
+\membersection{Substring extraction}
+
+These functions allow to extract substring from this string. All of them don't
+modify the original string and return a new string containing the extracted
+substring.
+
+\helpref{Mid}{wxstringmid}\\
+\helpref{operator()}{wxstringoperatorparenth}\\
+\helpref{Left}{wxstringleft}\\
+\helpref{Right}{wxstringright}\\
+\helpref{BeforeFirst}{wxstringbeforefirst}\\
+\helpref{BeforeLast}{wxstringbeforelast}\\
+\helpref{AfterFirst}{wxstringafterfirst}\\
+\helpref{AfterLast}{wxstringafterlast}\\
+\helpref{StartsWith}{wxstringstartswith}
+
+\membersection{Case conversion}
+
+The MakeXXX() variants modify the string in place, while the other functions
+return a new string which containts the original text converted to the upper or
+lower case and leave the original string unchanged.
+
+\helpref{MakeUpper}{wxstringmakeupper}\\
+\helpref{Upper}{wxstringupper}\\
+\helpref{MakeLower}{wxstringmakelower}\\
+\helpref{Lower}{wxstringlower}
+
+\membersection{Searching and replacing}
+
+These functions replace the standard {\it strchr()} and {\it strstr()}
+functions.
+
+\helpref{Find}{wxstringfind}\\
+\helpref{Replace}{wxstringreplace}
+
+\membersection{Conversion to numbers}
+
+The string provides functions for conversion to signed and unsigned integer and
+floating point numbers. All three functions take a pointer to the variable to
+put the numeric value in and return TRUE if the {\bf entire} string could be
+converted to a number.
+
+\helpref{ToLong}{wxstringtolong}\\
+\helpref{ToULong}{wxstringtoulong}\\
+\helpref{ToDouble}{wxstringtodouble}
+
+\membersection{Writing values into the string}
+
+Both formatted versions (\helpref{Printf}{wxstringprintf}) and stream-like
+insertion operators exist (for basic types only). Additionally, the
+\helpref{Format}{wxstringformat} function allows to use simply append
+formatted value to a string:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ // the following 2 snippets are equivalent
+
+ wxString s = "...";
+ s += wxString::Format("%d", n);
+
+ wxString s;
+ s.Printf("...%d", n);
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\helpref{Format}{wxstringformat}\\
+\helpref{FormatV}{wxstringformatv}\\
+\helpref{Printf}{wxstringprintf}\\
+\helpref{PrintfV}{wxstringprintfv}\\
+\helpref{operator \cinsert}{wxstringoperatorout}
+
+\membersection{Memory management}
+
+These are "advanced" functions and they will be needed quite rarily.
+\helpref{Alloc}{wxstringalloc} and \helpref{Shrink}{wxstringshrink} are only
+interesting for optimization purposes.
+\helpref{GetWriteBuf}{wxstringgetwritebuf} may be very useful when working with
+some external API which requires the caller to provide a writable buffer, but
+extreme care should be taken when using it: before performing any other
+operation on the string \helpref{UngetWriteBuf}{wxstringungetwritebuf} {\bf
+must} be called!
+
+\helpref{Alloc}{wxstringalloc}\\
+\helpref{Shrink}{wxstringshrink}\\
+\helpref{GetWriteBuf}{wxstringgetwritebuf}\\
+\helpref{UngetWriteBuf}{wxstringungetwritebuf}
+
+\membersection{Miscellaneous}
+
+Other string functions.

+\helpref{Trim}{wxstringtrim}\\
+\helpref{Pad}{wxstringpad}\\
+\helpref{Truncate}{wxstringtruncate}

+\membersection{wxWindows 1.xx compatibility functions}
+
+These functions are deprecated, please consider using new wxWindows 2.0
+functions instead of them (or, even better, std::string compatible variants).

\membersection{wxString::wxString}\label{wxstringconstruct}
Constructs a string of {\it n} copies of character {\it ch}.
-\func{}{wxString}{\param{const char*}{ psz}, \param{size\_t}{ nLength = STRING\_MAXLEN}}
+\func{}{wxString}{\param{const char*}{ psz}, \param{size\_t}{ nLength = wxSTRING\_MAXLEN}}
Takes first {\it nLength} characters from the C string {\it psz}.
-The default value of STRING\_MAXLEN means take all the string.
+The default value of wxSTRING\_MAXLEN means to take all the string.
+
+Note that this constructor may be used even if {\it psz} points to a buffer
+with binary data (i.e. containing {\tt NUL} characters) as long as you provide
+the correct value for {\it nLength}. However, the default form of it works
+only with strings without intermediate {\tt NUL}s because it uses
+{\tt strlen()} to calculate the effective length and it would not give correct
+results otherwise.
-\func{}{wxString}{\param{const unsigned char*}{ psz}, \param{size\_t}{ nLength = STRING\_MAXLEN}}
+\func{}{wxString}{\param{const unsigned char*}{ psz}, \param{size\_t}{ nLength = wxSTRING\_MAXLEN}}
For compilers using unsigned char: takes first {\it nLength} characters from the C string {\it psz}.
-The default value of STRING\_MAXLEN means take all the string.
+The default value of wxSTRING\_MAXLEN means take all the string.
\func{}{wxString}{\param{const wchar\_t*}{ psz}}
String destructor. Note that this is not virtual, so wxString must not be inherited from.
-\membersection{wxString::Alloc}\label{wxstringAlloc}
+\membersection{wxString::Alloc}\label{wxstringalloc}
+
+\func{void}{Alloc}{\param{size\_t}{ nLen}}
+
+Preallocate enough space for wxString to store {\it nLen} characters. This function
+may be used to increase speed when the string is constructed by repeated
+concatenation as in
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+
+// delete all vowels from the string
+wxString DeleteAllVowels(const wxString& original)
+{
+ wxString result;

+ size_t len = original.length();

-Preallocate some space for wxString. Only works if the data of this string is not shared.
+\end{verbatim}
+
+because it will avoid the need of reallocating string memory many times (in case
+of long strings). Note that it does not set the maximal length of a string - it
+will still expand if more than {\it nLen} characters are stored in it. Also, it
+does not truncate the existing string (use
+\helpref{Truncate()}{wxstringtruncate} for this) even if its current length is
+greater than {\it nLen}

-This macro should only be used in such cases and NOT to

-The conventional way would be 'function((char*)string.Chars())'.
-With the wxCHARARG macro, this can be achieved by 'function(wxCHARARG(string))'.
-This makes it clearer that the usage should be confined
