# Macro proc_macro::quote [−] [src]

    macro_rules! quote {
        () => { ... };
    }

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`proc_macro` #38356)

`quote!(..)` accepts arbitrary tokens and expands into a `TokenStream` describing the input. For example, `quote!(a + b)` will produce a expression, that, when evaluated, constructs the `TokenStream` `[Word("a"), Op('+', Alone), Word("b")]`.

Unquoting is done with `$`, and works by taking the single next ident as the unquoted term. To quote `$` itself, use `$$`.

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
