Well, it's better... but the IMPORTANT part of what you've changed it to 
was
mentioning the carriage return on the end.  If you initially said

  Typing   ``1This is a heading      followed by Carriage Return

then I probably wouldn't have asked.  It must be the CR that tells SE 
that
the end of the related literal text has been reached.


In fact, your

  "The ``1 bit is expanded immediately as soon as you type it since the
   Carriage Return at the end on the line being typed means it is 
floating."

is confusing.   This cannot be right:

  "The ``1 bit is expanded immediately as soon as you type it"

at least not because of the CR, because you haven't typed the CR (or the
preceding literal text) yet.  You've only typed ` and ` and 1.


Why, precisely, CR is a trigger but, for example, space is not, is still
not clear.


Further down where you describe \n, \t etc, the line about \@ has a typo
in it and mentions \' where it shouldn't.
