Jose F. Morales:
Other Prolog systems support multiline strings also with "..." syntax. Does
anyone remember if that is incompatible with ISO Prolog standard? If not,
is there any reasonable syntax extension that can be adopted by other
Prolog implementations too?

This cannot be conforming Prolog syntax, that is, it cannot be a
syntax extension (5.5.1) as it interferes with valid Prolog syntax.
The minimal counterexample is probably:
:- set_prolog_flag(double_quotes,atom).
"""+"b. /*
"""*/
I haven't used such example in my life, and probably I won't . If triple
double quotes is a problem, any other combination ( ''', !!!, {{{) would
be fine as well.
which corresponds to
+('',b).
With this extension, valid Prolog text would be interpreted
differently.
Putting \n\ at the end of each line is a huge nuisance in copy/paste
operations
I add such text in Emacs with C-x r t \n\ Return
So spaces are added in lines that happen to be shorter.
Yes, I do create a macro that adds \n\ to the end of the line and then I
execute it n-times. But it's not nearly as easy as in
python.
