The prudent thing to do is to double every backslash you want taken verbatim, whether it is at the end of a line or not. One nice aspect of P and P-prime is that you get in the habit of eliding the quote marks as well, as in """This is an example of \"\"\"treble quoting\"\"\"""" even though """This is an example of \"""treble quoting""\"""" is sufficient. It keeps your visual clues more local. I would suggest that those considering the merits of P and P-prime versus G and F', consider that in GP, the above would appear in F' as """This is an example of ""\ "treble quoting""\ "\ """ and the similar G statement would be ``This is an example of `\ `G quoting`\ `\ `` which seems somewhat less clear than the more Pythonesque P, P-prime and F one-liners At 12:29 PM -0600 2/28/11, Bollinger, John C wrote: >On Monday, February 28, 2011 12:16 PM, I wrote: > >>F and GP would require backslash doubling when a literal backslash >>appears at the end of a line, and also when a literal >>double-backslash appears anywhere (in which case both backslashes >>would need to be doubled, \\ -> \\\\). > >Correction: F and GP would require backslash doubling when a literal >backslash appears at the end of a line.
