Hello, I recently wrote a parser for a (game scripting) language in which ordinary strings inside quotes can hold (literal) newlines:
s = "Hello, how do you do?" So, I wonder why most languages do not allow that from scratch; and some, like python, need a special syntax for multi-line strings. This is no parsing issue: instead, the pattern is simpler for it does need to refuse newlines! Note: Like python, this languages takes end-of-line (outside quotes) as end-of-statement token.
