+  Since @code{format} interprets @samp{%} characters as format
+specifications, you should @emph{never} pass an arbitrary string as
+the first argument.  This is particularly true when the string is
+generated by some Lisp code.  Unless the string is @emph{known} to
+never include any @samp{%} characters, pass @code{"%s"}, described
+below, as the first argument, and the string as the second, like this:
+
+@example
+  (format "%s" @var{arbitrary-string})
