In case case of readability: most cases of multi line string
constants are likely to be embedded scripts (shaders, SQL, whatever)
and thus the $INCLUDESTRING directive mentioned in the bug report is
much more useable, because it allows you to view the embedded file
in its own editor together with syntax hightlighting and possibly
code completion.<br>
<br>
I'm with Michael here: I see no *need* for a separate syntax for a
multi line string. I see however the need for the ability to include
multi line text as a string.<br>
