| Strings: quoted | |||||
Quoted strings are programmer-specified sequences of characters. They can be enclosed either by single or double quotation marks. The delimiting quotation mark cannot appear as a character within the string unless it is escaped. A string can be entered over multiple input lines only if it is divided into quote-delimited parts that appear on different lines and are separated with the underscore ("_") character.
All characters that don't have specific control-character significance are allowed in a quoted string. In particular, only the following characters are not allowed:
These characters can be represented either in a quoted string with the "%n" format item or by using the "%#" format item to explicitly specify the character value.
In versions of OmniMark prior to V3, only non-control characters below ASCII value 127 were permitted in quoted strings. Tabs were disallowed because they are difficult to distinguish from spaces. The "%t" format item is still recommended over an actual tab character for this reason.
