Docstrings are treated as regular strings if they are indented about julia-sublime HOT 4 OPEN

It is intended. Doc strings have to be at the top level.

@randy3k do you mean at the top indentation level? why is that?

from julia-sublime.

Julia does support doc strings which are not at the top level and where it is natural to use indentation, e.g.,

Example 1: doc strings for entities inside a module, perhaps nested

#Example 2: doc strings for inner constructors using the @doc macro as described here.

For Example 2, it seems we should be able to recognize when @doc is being used to define a doc string and highlight appropriately. That would also help with Example 1, where the user can write @doc before the indented doc string to produce the desired syntax highlighting.

It does seem possible to force a docstring using "@doc raw"
