 <p>Database definition (.dbd) files can now contain declarations of simple
 static variables, a facility intended for driver debugging purposes. These
-<code>variable(name)</code> declarations are preserved by dbExpand, and will
-be converted by registerRecordDeviceDriver.pl into code that registers them
-with iocsh. The variables themselves must be defined in some existing C or
-C++ code and marked using the macro <code>epicsExportAddress(type,
-name)</code>. The initial implementation only supports integers, but other
-types will be added soon.</p>
