Slick EDIT V3.3 - Manual (Page 469)

• Trailing backslash continues string across lines - When this option is selected, it indicates that
searching for the terminating quote continues to the next line if the lines end with a backslash charac-
ter.
• Search for end quote across multiple lines - When this option is selected, it indicates that the
string does not have to be terminated on the same line as the start quote character.
• Delay color coding until end quote - When this option is selected, a string is not color-coded un-
less an end quote is seen on the same line. This does not support multi-line strings.
• Single quotes
• Two consecutive quotes represent one - '''' (four consecutive single quote characters) for Pascal
represents a string of length one which is a single quote character.
• Backslash single quote represents a single quote - '\'' represents a string of length one which is a
single quote character.
• Single quoted strings are always 1 char long - When this option is selected, a single quote char-
acter is followed by an additional character and then the terminating single quote character. There is
never more than one character between the start and end single quote.
• Trailing backslashes continues string across lines - When this option is selected, it indicates that
searching for the terminating quote continues to the next line if the lines end with a backslash charac-
ter.
• Search for end quote across multiple lines - When this option is selected, it indicates that the
string does not have to be terminated on the same line as the start quote character.
• Delay color coding until end quote - When this option is selected, a string is not color-coded un-
less an end quote is seen on the same line. This does not support multi-line strings.
