 The modules described in this chapter provide a wide range of string
-manipulation operations.  Here's an overview:
+manipulation operations.
+
+In addition, Python's built-in string classes support the sequence type
+methods described in the :ref:`typesseq` section, and also the
+string-specific methods described in the :ref:`string-methods` section.
+To output formatted strings use template strings or the ``%`` operator
+described in the :ref:`string-formatting` section. Also, see the
+:mod:`re` module for string functions based on regular expressions.
