I agree the current text is ambiguous given how often folks refer to the newline escape sequence as a "newline", but it isn't wrong - it's just talking about escaping literal newlines in your source code like: >>> "This is a \ ... single-line string" 'This is a single-line string' When this paragraph is being updated, it would be good to add a cross-reference down to the table of escape sequences later in the section. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35962> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
