LYR-LEX0014

a multi-line string whose quotes do not stand on lines of their own

error · spec 01-lexical

A multi-line string """…""" has text on the line of its opening """, or text before its closing """ on the closing line.

Explanation

The text of a multi-line string begins on the line after the opening """ and ends on the line before the closing one; the closing line holds only the indentation that is taken off every line.

Break the line after the opening """, and put the closing """ on a line of its own.

Wrong

fn main(): void {
    let text = """first
        """;
    let _ = text;
}

Right

fn main(): void {
    let text = """
        first
        """;
    let _ = text;
}
