concern with this approach is that you don’t have any control about
indent and you loose pre- and post spacing characters.</span></p>
<p class="gmail_msg" style="margin: 15px 0px;"><span class="gmail_msg" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">A
concatenating approach is a little tedious but it’s precise. In any
situation a multi-lined string is not softly wrapped string, which
implies that you will have to press enter for each new line you
wish to have. IMHO adding two more characters for each line isn’t
that harmful. ;-)</span></p>

<p class="gmail_msg" style="margin: 15px 0px;"><span class="gmail_msg" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">on Github
there is a PR for this proposal, but I couldn’t find any up to date
thread, so I’m going to start by replying to the last message I
found, without the last content.</span></p>
<p class="gmail_msg" style="margin: 15px 0px;"><span class="gmail_msg" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">I really
like where this proposal is going, and my personal preference are
*continuation quotes*. However the proposed solution is still not
perfect enough for me, because it still lacks of precise control
about the trailing space characters in each line of a multi-line
string.</span></p>
<p class="gmail_msg" style="margin: 15px 0px;"><span class="gmail_msg" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">Proposed
version looks like this:</span></p>
<pre class="gmail_msg" style="margin: 15px 0px; font-family: Menlo, Consolas, 'Liberation Mono', Courier, monospace; font-size: 10pt; border-top-left-radius: 3px; border-top-right-radius: 3px; border-bottom-right-radius: 3px; border-bottom-left-radius: 3px; background-color: rgb(248, 248, 248); color: inherit; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); overflow: auto; padding: 4px 8px; word-break: normal; word-wrap: normal;"><span class="gmail_msg" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><code class="m_-3984622749196973764swift gmail_msg" style="font-family: Menlo, Consolas, 'Liberation Mono', Courier, monospace; font-size: 10pt; border-top-left-radius: 3px; border-top-right-radius: 3px; border-bottom-right-radius: 3px; border-bottom-left-radius: 3px; background-color: rgb(248, 248, 248); color: inherit; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; word-break: normal; word-wrap: normal;">let xml = "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>

<p class="gmail_msg" style="margin: 15px 0px;"><span class="gmail_msg" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">I would
like to pitch an enhancement to fix the last tiny part by adding
the escaping character ‘' to the end of each line from 1 to (n - 1)
of the n-lined string. This is similar to what Javascript allows us
to do, except that we also have precise control about the leading
space character through ’"’.</span></p>
<p class="gmail_msg" style="margin: 15px 0px;"><span class="gmail_msg" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">The
proposed version will become this:</span></p>
