 #### Memory load/store
 
-To read from memory you specify a memory location as `base?offset` or `base!offset`. `?` reads a byte and `!` reads a 32bit word.
+To read from memory you specify a memory location as `base?offset`, `base!offset` or `base$offset`. `?` reads a byte, `!` reads a 32bit word
+and `$` reads a 32bit float.
 
 `base` can be any expression that evaluates to an `i32` while `offset` has to be a constant `i32` value. The effective memory address is the sum of both.
 
-Writing to memory looks just like an assignment to a memory location: `base?offset = expressoin` and `base!offset = expression`.
+Writing to memory looks just like an assignment to a memory location: `base?offset = expression`, `base!offset = expression` and `base$offset = expression`.
 
 When reading/writing 32bit words you need to make sure the address is 4-byte aligned.
 
-These compile to `i32.load8_u`, `i32.load`, `i32.store8` and `i32.store`. Other WASM load/store instructions will be implemented as intrinsics, but aren't yet.

+
+In addition, all wasm memory instructions are available as intrinsics:
+
+```
+<load-ins>(<base-address>[, <offset>, [<align>]])
+
+offset defaults to 0, align to the natural alignment: 0 for 8bit loads, 1 for 16bit, 2 for 32 bit and 3 for 64bit.

+#### Data
+
+Data sections are written in `data` blocks:
+
+```
+data <address> {

+}
+```
+
+The content of such a block is loaded at the given address at module start.
+
+Inside the data block you can include 8, 16, 32, 64, f32 or f64 values:
+
+```
+i8(1, 255) i16(655350) i32(0x12345678) i64(0x1234567890abcdefi64) f32(1.0, 3.141) f64(0.5f64)
