I’m not even sure what I should imagine when I read “if the indent stripping is enabled”.</p>
<p>My mental model is simple, the compiler looks for line where the closing tripled delimiter is. Takes all space characters in between the start of the line and the delimiter (there cannot be any other character at all), and makes it as the indent prefix for all content lines <code>s0</code> to <code>sn</code>. This is simple and does not require an essay of rules to support that.</p>
<p>That said, the indent stripping algorithm is always enabled, except when the indent prefix is an empty string <code>""</code>.</p>
<p>It’s far more simpler to teach the two different types of the multi-line string literal, rather then allowing string content after the starting delimiter and than explaining why the literal does not inject a new line if you happen to write</p>
<pre><code class="swift">"""
foo
bar
"""
</code></pre>
<p>Instead of:</p>
<pre><code class="swift">"""foo
bar
"""
</code></pre>
<p>This approach also eliminates the implication of the existence of:</p>
<pre><code class="swift">"""
foo
bar"""
</code></pre>

<div>Well, um, looks like we got scooped. (I was playing with some
non-essential wording and trying to test all the examples before I
pointed the list at the new version.)</div>
<div><br class=""></div>
<div>
<div class="">Since requiring a leading backslash went over like a
lead balloon, we've revised the proposal one more time. The leading
newline is now optional: If indentation stripping is enabled, you
can either start typing content on the same line as the delimiter,
or you can start on the next line. I resisted this solution for a
while because it seems ad-hoc, but ultimately it's the design that
preserves the most formatting flexibility for the user, so I think
it's the right way to go.</div>
<div class=""><br class=""></div>
<div class="">Other than that, there are no changes to the design
in this revision, though I've rephrased a few things and added a
section about why we strip a leading newline but not a trailing
one.</div>
<div class=""><br class=""></div>
<div class="">John has also built a new version of the toolchain
which matches this behavior. Download it here: <a href="http://johnholdsworth.com/swift-LOCAL-2017-04-13-a-osx.tar.gz" class="">http://johnholdsworth.com/swift-LOCAL-2017-04-13-a-osx.tar.gz</a></div>
