Missing backslash after example.com, here and on line 37.

Done in this case. I shouldn't need it for the GYP code because it uses the
single-quotes for the outer string.

+#     ]
+#   }
+#
+# Write a GYP target like this:
+#
+#  {
+#    # GN version: //foo:foo_features
+#    'target_name': 'foo_foo_features',
+#    'includes': [ '../build/build_header.gypi' ],
+#    'variables': {
+#       'build_header_path': 'foo/foo_features.h',
+#       'build_header_flags': [
+#         'ENABLE_DOOM_MELON=<(enable_doom_melon)',
+#         'ENABLE_SPACE_LASER=true',
+#         'SPAM_SERVER_URL="http://www.example.com/"',
+#       ],
+#     },
+#   }
+#
+# Variables
+#
+#   target_name
+#       Base this on the GN label, replacing / and : with _ to make it globally
+#       unique.
+#
+#   build_header_path
+#       This must be the full path to the header from the source root. In GN
+#       you only say "features.h" and it uses the BUILD file's path implicitly.
+#       Use the path to BUILD.gn followed by your header name to produce the
+#       same output file.
+#
+#   build_header_flags (optional)
+#       List of the same format as GN's "flags". To expand variables, use
+#       "<(foo)" where GN would have used "$foo".
+#
+#   includes
+#       List the relative path to build/build_header.gypi from the .gyp file
+#       including this code, Note: If your code is in a .gypi file in a
+#       different directory, this must be relative to the .gyp including your
+#       file.
+#
+#
+# Grit defines
+#
+# Follow the same advice as in the build_header.gni, except on the grit action
+# use the variable name 'grit_additional_defines' and explicitly add a '-D' in
+# front:
+#
+#   'grit_grd_file': 'foo.grd',
+#   'grit_additional_defines': [
+#     '-D', 'enable_doom_melon=<(enable_doom_melon)',
+#    ],
+#
+# Put shared lists of defines in a .gypi.
