Ideally, when am reading code, I would like to point out string constants in a rather different way - perhaps a different font or a different color or both.

In the current version, strings are only quoted appropriately but are presented in the verbatim mode of conTeXt. This seemed the easiest solution to handle hardcoded strings containing
a variety of special characters.

The most correct solution would be, to actually parse strings separately. For instance, "\n" would get translated to "\type{}n" , thus getting only the back slash in black and the rest in the appropriate color.

A simple solution is to have only the quotes in appropriate color thus , at least, marking the string constant separately.

Another option , perhaps it would make sense, is to force the programmer define his constant strings somewhere. and it would be tangle's responsibility to insert appropriate un-escaped versions of the strings into the real code.
