== Difference from multi-line string literals ==
Some examples here seem like basically multi-line string literals. So I want to ask: Are any multi-line string literals allowed? (I'm guessing the answer is probably no?) And if not, what is the dividing line that separates "here documents" from other multi-line string literals? Is it that it allows you to use a custom word of your choosing as a delimiter? (Python triple-quotes and many others do not satisfy this.) Is it that it allows you to use a delimiter that is more than one character? What is the criterion? --[[User:Spoon!|Spoon!]] 07:58, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
