Thanks for the query "string prefixes". I tried other queries but not that one. I ended my first message with "I hope I didn't break any unspoken rules" and it seems I have.
If the tags are called as functions then you can do it today with this: def html(s): return s HEAD = html('<head>') If I'm not missing anything, this doesn't help with syntax highlighting? Highlighting is the problem I'm talking about in my post above.
Not true. A syntax highlighter can certainly recognize html('...') just as it can recognize html'...'.
I replied to this in a separate post, but html() is likely a function name that is used in millions of existing code bases. Applying this rule to all of them will lead to too many errors to be acceptable to editors I think. And if this has to be explicitly configured in an editor very few will use it.
