multiline strings

[Ralf Hemmecke]

Probably the answer is no, but does FriCAS allow to enter multiline
strings similar to python's

"""foo bla
hello world
baz"""

so that the newlline is included.

Wouldn't the _ at the end of the line do this?

No. It escapes the following newline, but doesn't include it.

FriCAS used to allow newlines in strings, but it was implemented
differently in interpreter and Spad compiler so in now removed.

You can put newlines in the string like:

nl ==> new(1, newline())$String
fmy_str() ==
"foo bla" nl "hello world" nl "baz"

print fmy_str()
