6.3.3 Strings

A string may consist of any number of characters (it may also be empty). It must be enclosed in double quotes and must not extend over more than one line. Within the double quotes there may be any combination of printable characters except the backslash ‘\’ and the double quotes. When part of a string, these characters must be preceded by a ‘\’ (escape character). Examples: "Hello", "He says: \"Great\"".
