By my count there are 6 distinct proposals for eliding triple-quoted strings on the table, which I have listed below. In order to get an idea of where we all stand and which proposals are most likely to succeed, I'd like to invite you all to reply to this email with a list of proposals which you would find acceptable. If you like, you can rank them in order of preference. In the list below I've given short descriptions, but you should refer to the original emails for the full details. The opinions of COMCIFS voting members are of course most significant at this juncture, but I for one am interested in the thoughts of the other members as well. Proposal P (for Python): Ralf's original proposal to do everything as in Python Proposal A: <backslash><delimiter> elides the delimiter, no other sequences are significant Proposal B: \uxxxx to represent Unicode characters, no other sequences are significant Proposal C: as yet unspecified character post-elides the delimiter where necessary Proposal D: as for C, except post-elide character is given immediately before opening triple delimiter Proposal E: (John B's suggestion) \uxxxx for Unicode character together with \<newline> and \\ Proposal F: (Simon's proposal) \<newline> and \\ only Proposal F': (My slight tweak of Simon's proposal) \<newline> only when not preceded by \ I find proposal P unacceptable, and would rank the others in order of preference roughly as follows: Best: F', F, C Bearable: A, B, E In a pinch: D -- T +61 (02) 9717 9907 F +61 (02) 9717 3145 M +61 (04) 0249 4148 _______________________________________________ ddlm-group mailing list ddlm-group@iucr.org http://scripts.iucr.org/mailman/listinfo/ddlm-group
