I think my index can be useful in such searches. Both q"" and
q{} are there:

Thanks, Ali. I suppose I should be looking in your book first
when I have a question... as I so often do.

enum will work just as well here and without the need for the
variable:
enum myCSS = "tab { background-color: #f2f2f2; }";
The original error was because q strings have to be valid D,
not because of the enum.
Ah! Thanks for clearing that up, Mike. My D knowledge is still
rather sparse, so this fills in another blank for me.

They are named "token string" and contained code must be a

Thanks, Andrea and Max.
Turns out there's a simpler way to inject CSS into D code. In
case anyone else comes looking, I found that instead of an
enum, a string will do. Here's the solution I came up with to
make visible tabs in a Notebook:
That should have been:
class CSS // GTK4 compliant
{
CssProvider provider;
string myCSS = "tab { background-color: #f2f2f2; }";
this(StyleContext styleContext)
{
provider = new CssProvider();
provider.loadFromData(myCSS);
styleContext.addProvider(provider,
GTK_STYLE_PROVIDER_PRIORITY_APPLICATION);
} // this()
} // class CSS
The CSS path/file name isn't needed.

And in the class that will use it, this line does it:
css = new CSS(getStyleContext());

q{} is a string that must only contain valid D tokens. D lexer
does not like C directives.
