Thank you for the suggestion. I guess you meant ES6 template literals?
Multiline strings in Hjson are quite different - they allow you to indent without having to worry about whitespace and/or escapes. So I don't really see the value of these template literals here.
from hjson-js.
My thought was, that '''
would be pretty non-standard compared to . As
'''has its roots in CSON and different languages that wanted to be able to markup multiple lines. However, with the latest additions to the standards (namely template literals) we should be able to convey the same idea and functionality using
.
How does '''
and differ? How does
'''` work around a whitespace problem? Are the beginning tabs/spaces ignored?
Best,

Yes, for example:
{
md:
'''
First line.
Second line.
This line is indented by two spaces.
'''
}
So I don't see any advantages of `
over the current implementation.
from hjson-js.
@laktak I also think '''
is bad because it conflicts with other formatting systems. For example, I have been thinking of using HJSON in Wikipedia for many inline JSON blobs. The '''
already has a meaning -- make something bold. Currently, the only two JSON elements that need special handling are |
(pipe) and }}
. The pipe can be escaped with {{!}}
, and }}
can be escaped by writing it with a space - } }
. For JSON strings, they can be replaced with \x7b .. \x7d
.
With HJSON, I don't see any way to escape '''
within wiki markup, whereas the backtick is not used at the moment, and can be safely used in place of '''
or even "
.
from hjson-js.
@nyurik Not having an escape is a feature and IMO way better than having to escape every \
.
Would having a variable number of opening and closing '
help? Like ''''' ml string containing ''' '''''
- that's a different issue though so I'm going to close this.
from hjson-js.
@laktak sadly no - in wiki markup, ''
-- italic, '''
-- bold, and it could be something like '''''bold-italic''' italic''
. I could try to adapt HJSON to Wiki markup only if '''
was disabled. At the moment, Wiki uses JSON + allow comments + allow trailing commas, but nothing else.
