Whats the syntax for heredoc strings?
I was surprised that I couldn't find documentation for the lexical
structure of racket. I also grepped the source for 'heredoc' but
didn't come up with anything.
Don't use it, use the Scribble syntax instead.
Ok. For future reference this is how its done:
#lang at-exp racket
@string-append{
foo
bar
}
I would be happier if there was some syntactic support in scribble instead of
having to write 'string-append'.
I like python's heredoc syntax -- triple quotes. """a heredoc
string""", if such a thing could be added to racket (I will most
likely do something like this for honu).
Don't use it, use the Scribble syntax instead. Really.
Probably this discussion should move to the dev list.. but anyway how would I re-use the scribble syntax? I have my own lexer so whats the easiest way to bridge
to the scribble stuff?
