<br>Some languages support multi-line literals, but those languages are from an age of fixed-length records, when programmers still used [punched] cards. [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 08:46, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
:: Since apparently [[wp:Punched card#Standards|punched cards]] have had standards issued for them as recently as 1990, "when programmers still used [punched] cards" must include the origin time for many languages. Meanwhile, Perl [which admittedly appeared in 1987] supports both multiline string literals and hereis documents. So, I guess I am not really sure what point you are trying to make. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 19:53, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
