    Jim Hoskins clears it up.

    %Q is the equivalent to a double-quoted ruby string. #{expression} evaluation works just like in double-quoted strings, even if you use %Q{} as your delimiter!

    You can also leave off the Q and it will have the same functionality. I recommend leaving the Q in to be more clear.
