+<p>Interpolate register with name <var class="var">ident</var> (one-character
+name&nbsp;<var class="var">i</var>, two-character name <var class="var">id</var>). <code class="code">\n</code> is
+interpreted even in copy mode (see <a class="pxref" href="Copy-Mode.html">Copy Mode</a>). If the register is
+undefined, it is created and assigned a value of&nbsp;&lsquo;<samp class="samp">0</samp>&rsquo;, that
+value is interpolated, and a warning in category &lsquo;<samp class="samp">reg</samp>&rsquo; is emitted.
+See <a class="xref" href="Warnings.html">Warnings</a>, for information about the enablement and suppression of
+warnings.
