July 18, 2019 Quotes inside wysiwyg strings, or alternative solution? | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
Hi, I have searched, but can't find a solution. In C++ and Rust there is the option of enclosing a string in a sequence of chars (after R/r) to allow quotation marks in multiline string literals. What is the solution in D for wysiwyg strings (or similar) spanning multiple lines containing quotes and apostrophes? Thanks! (also, how can I put formatted code in a post?) |

Take a look at: https://dlang.org/spec/lex.html#string_literals All string literals may span multiple lines. If you only need " and ' without `, you can use a string literal like this: `WysiwygCharacters` For ' and ` in your string you can use r"WysiwygCharacters". You can also concatenate different string literals with ~. If your string contains code, you can try a token string like q{if 'a' "" ``} Finally, you can also have custom delimiters in q-strings but I don't recommend them since they're hard to process for text editors.
