[fpc-devel] Some thoughts on multi-line string support, and a possible syntax that I think is perfectly clean and Pascal-ish.

Sweet. Why does the “cr” setting only print one line and “crlf” prints all of them? Sorry I wasn’t following along with all the talk.

It still feels intuitively like we should be using double-quotes instead of back ticks but it’s still very nice.

program test;

{$modeswitch multilinestrings}
{$multilinestringlineending cr}

const lines = `
  aaa
  bbb
  ccc
  ddd
`;

begin
  writeln(lines);
end.
