I'm with Michael here: I see no *need* for a separate syntax for a
multi line string.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div> I don't really think the suggested backtick way is different enough from anything that exists to be considered a "separate syntax", though. It's the exact same thing, with a one-character difference at the opening and close of the string.<br></div><div><br></div><div>If anything I see a use for both the IncludeString directive and multi-line strings. IncludeString would be more suitable for scripts and such as you've suggested, but I can think of a lot of places I'd have liked to have multi-lines strings in the source for stuff like help / options / about text in command-line apps.</div></div></div>
