Example of incorrect highlighting
If you type a triple quote string in a Python document, and put an escaped
quote character at the end of the string, Kate will think the quote character
is part of the end delimiter of the string. This only happens for ineffectual
strings, which are treated as comments. I you do something with the string,
e.g. assign it to a variable.
For example, if you type the below code, "print('test')" will be treated as
part of the string:
print """test\""""
print('test')
And if you type the below, the string will be treated as terminated, even
though it's not:
"""test\"""
Both programs in the screenshot are valid programs printing test, though though
the highlighter would have you think they're not.
