Kind people,
Please find attached a diff to the SGML docs that attempts to go
over the new dollar quoting feature.
I think we should just use $$ in each case. Otherwise it might look
more complicated than before.
Peter,
I'd be delighted to simplify some of the quotes. They can't all be $$
because of the nesting, so that's out. Also, I believe it is a good
idea to give some idea of what is going on with the tags, as I do with
similar structures in other languages. For example, when I am writing
up a piece of SQL in perl or php, the tag looks like this:
$sql = <<SQL
...
SQL
$sql = <<<SQL
...
SQL;
Interesting, but I think most people like to use a tag that identifies
what is happening, rather than the content. I think that's why <<END is
used frequently, so END appears as the end. Seeing SQL alone on a line
seems strange.
I typically combine these approaches, with a heredoc marker like EOSQL
cheers
