I might call these “single-line” and “multi-line” mode strings. The single-line mode is primarily useful for being able to include unescaped double-quotes in the string. If you’re in multi-line mode, though, it’s reasonable to be thinking about things in terms of “lines”, and having a trailing newline there seems reasonable. For example, I think it’s reasonable to expect this:</div><div class=""><font face="Menlo" class=""><br class=""></font></div><blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;" class=""><font face="Menlo" class=""><span class=""><div class="">let a = """</div></span></font><font face="Menlo" class=""><span class=""><div class="">This is line one</div></span></font><font face="Menlo" class=""><span class=""><div class="">This is line two"</div></span></font><font face="Menlo" class=""><span class=""><div class="">"""</div></span></font><font face="Menlo" class=""><span class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div></span></font><font face="Menlo" class=""><span class=""><div class="">let b = """</div></span></font><font face="Menlo" class=""><span class=""><div class="">This is line three</div></span></font><font face="Menlo" class=""><span class=""><div class="">This is line four</div></span></font><font face="Menlo" class=""><span class=""><div class="">"""</div></span></font><span class=""><br class=""></span><div class=""><font face="Menlo" class="">(a + b) == """</font></div><div class=""><font face="Menlo" class="">This is line one</font></div><div class=""><font face="Menlo" class="">This is line two</font></div><div class=""><font face="Menlo" class="">This is line three</font></div><div class=""><font face="Menlo" class="">This is line four</font></div><div class=""><font face="Menlo" class="">"""</font></div></blockquote><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">That seems like a reasonable model to work with multi-line strings.</div></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div>+1</div><div><br class=""></div><div>-Thorsten</div><br class=""></body></html>
