Where is the documentation on changing R's order of evaluation?

I am new to R and am learning about the dplyr package. In the documentation for %>% I can read about how the packages changes the grammar or the language. For example,

The magrittr pipe operators use non-standard evaluation.

I would like to learn more about how this is done, but am unsure of what keywords to use. Can someone point me to a documentation page on what features R exposes that allows one to write code that modifies the order of evaluation?

  • From the R console enter:

    ?Syntax

    Also see the infix and prefix section of the R Language Definition manual.
