program Example;

(*
  This is a perfectly
  normal multi-line
  Pascal comment.
*)

const SA = `
  This is a multiline
  string using hypothetical backticks.
  Imagine it was fully syntax-highlighted
  like normal strings and the comment
  above are.
`;

const SB =
' This is a multiline' + sLineBreak +
' string using the current syntax.' + sLineBreak +
' Do you really' + sLineBreak +
' find this to be' + sLineBreak +
' more readable?';

begin
end.
