-------
|

\'strings'::
|
||
uninterpreted strings, use a backslash (\') to escape the separator
|
||
"strings"::
|
||
expanded strings, % strings (c.f. next section) contained are expended,
|
||
use a backslash (\\%) to escape the separator
|
||
%\{strings\}::
|
||
these strings are very useful when entering commands
|
||
+
|
||
* the '{' and '}' delimiters are configurable, you can use any non
|
||
alphanumeric character
|
||
+
|
||
----------------------------------------------------------
|
||
e.g. %[string], %<string>, %(string), %~string~, %!string!
|
||
----------------------------------------------------------
|
||
* if the character following '%' is one of '{[(<', then the closing
|
||
one is the matching '}])>' and the delimiters are not escapable but
|
||
are nestable

e.g. %{ roger {}; } is a valid string, %{ marcel \} as well

|

|
||
variable has to be spelled out within the body of the expansion
|
||
|
||
Markup strings
|
||
--------------
|
||
In certain contexts, Kakoune can take a markup string, which is a string
|
||
containing formatting informations. In these strings, the {facename}
|
||
syntax will enable the face facename until another face gets activated,
|
||
or the end of the string is reached.
|
||
|
||
Literal '{' characters shall be written '\{', and a literal backslash ('\')
|
||
that precedes a '{' character shall be escaped as well ('\\').
