According to documentation the following should work:

void main()
{
    char[] data = r"<p align="center">someText</p>";
}

but fails with:

test.d(3): semicolon expected, not 'center'
test.d(3): found '>someText</p>' when expecting ';'

I'm using DMD 0.73 on Windows

You can't have a " in an r"string". Write it as: "<p align=\"center\">someText</p>";

Would it be a problem to allow
   r'...............'
in addition to the existing
   r"..............."
as alternative syntax for wysiwig strings?

Using it the example became:
  char[] data = r'<p align="center">someText</p>';

It's not only good for HTML, but also be a blessing for
SQL programming, consider:

   cmd=r'SELECT .... WHERE customer="ThisName" ....;'

May I cite the manual:

 An alternate form of wysiwyg strings are enclosed by backquotes, the `
character. The ` character is not available on some keyboards and the font
rendering of it is sometimes indistinguishable from the regular ' character.
Since, however, the ` is rarely used, it is useful to delineate strings with
" in them.
	`hello`
	`c:\root\foo.exe`
	`ab\n`			string is 4 characters, 'a', 'b', '\', 'n'

That's right. I was so tired last night. Don't know what was I thinking.

I'm sorry.
