What is Delphi doing? This?

var s: String = ‘’'
                 hello world
                        ‘’’;

That or backticks are the only thing that made sense to me. What are the
pros and cons of both? Backticks are easier to type maybe, but I kind of
like the block effect the triple single-quotes make. Backticks are familiar
from another popular language (JavaScript) so there’s that.
