To include a double-quote in a string, precede it with a backslash; thus, <code>"\""</code> is a string containing just one double-quote character. Likewise, you can include a backslash by preceding it with another backslash, like this: <code>"this \\ is a single embedded -backslash"</code>. </p> <p>The newline character is not special in the read syntax for strings; if you write a new line between the double-quotes, it becomes a character in the string. But an escaped newline—one that is preceded by ‘<samp>\</samp>’—does not become part of the string; i.e., the Lisp reader ignores an escaped newline while reading a string. An escaped space ‘<samp>\ </samp>’ is likewise ignored. </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">"It is useful to include newlines -in documentation strings, -but the newline is \ -ignored if escaped." - ⇒ "It is useful to include newlines -in documentation strings, -but the newline is ignored if escaped." -</pre> -</div><div class="_attribution"> - <p class="_attribution-p"> - Copyright © 1990-1996, 1998-2022 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <br>Licensed under the GNU GPL license.<br> - <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Syntax-for-Strings.html" class="_attribution-link">https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Syntax-for-Strings.html</a> - </p> -</div> |
