Is there any or they are just simply syntactically equivalent? Are there any official docs on this?

What if I told you, you should search the official reference before asking such things in the forum?

http://dlang.org/lex.html#WysiwygString

Wysiwyg: What you see is what you get
<code>
  writeln(`\asd"fg"hj
hmph'`);
</code>
<output>
\asd"fg"hj
haha'
</output>

I did search the net for terms such as "d lang back quoted string" or "d
lang multi line string" or "d lang string interpolation" before asking here.
However the term "Wysiwyg string" didn't occur to my mind and from what
I could gather from the net and the test programs I wrote, I couldn't
determine the difference between `-string and "=string.  Hence
I decided to ask people here.

Thanks for the help.

Searching is kinda hard, so I encourage people to ask if something doesn't come up quickly. And then we need to be sure to always answer because their question might be the thing that comes up on some future user's search, and if they see "google it", their reaction might be "what the &^&*%^ do you think brought me here?!?!?!"

(at least that's my reaction!)

I realized that there was no index entry for back tick in my book. I've just added that and provided an Index section for the web version of the book. Click "Index (beta)" below to see a currently-ugly but hopefully useful Index section:

it's like a raw string (prefixed with a r) so there is escaped char:

r"\": correct token for a string, terminal " is not escaped
`\`: correct token for a string, terminal ` is not escaped
"\": invalid token for a string, " is escaped

so it's usefull on Windows for example, if a litteral string contains a path, instead of

"C:\\folder\\file"

you can type

`C:\folder\file`

mh haven't seen this initially. That's embarassing.
