It's not magic. It's exactly the same thing as the single quote currently is, but denoting multi-line strings specifically. On Thu, Jul 4, 2019 at 9:35 AM Marco van de Voort <f...@pascalprogramming.org <mailto:f...@pascalprogramming.org>> wrote:

You clearly do not understand how it works, still. That would not / does not compile, because the first string, which is *single-line as it always has been*, is indeed unterminated. You'd get "string exceeds end of line."

You clearly didn't read the message fully. It is not about compiler/not compile, but in the case of not compile what the error is and where.
