Some KRL statements and expressions use extended quotes. Extended quotes allow multiple line passages that contain the double quote symbol (") to be more easily entered. There are two types of extended quotes in KRL:
Chevrons
Chevrons enclose the items to be quoted in double less-than and greater-than signs (<<...>>). For example:
...
Values inside chevrons are treated as strings (with the exception of beestings). The white space whitespace is preserved.
Escaping
Like strings and regular expressions, a backslash allows free use of the terminator character (>) inside, and a literal backslash requires two backslashes:
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
var_1 = << \>\> >>;
var_2 = <<\\\>>>; // '\' followed by '>' |
