Hi Brendan, I'm wondering if you tried the here string syntax for your use case, which other than the fact that it requires a couple of newlines seems similar in vein to what you were going for (e.g. it doesn't escape anything)?
```racket > #<<HI Any text here, and nothing gets escaped, This is somewhat surprising. HI "Any text here, and nothing gets escaped. This is somewhat surprising." ``` Cheers, Andrew On Mon, May 1, 2017 at 2:37 PM, brendan <bren...@cannells.com> wrote: > I wrote a little Racket meta-language that adds a dispatch macro to the > readtable for typing string literals without escape characters.
