| CUE strings allow a richer set of escape sequences than JSON. |
| |
| CUE also supports multi-line strings, enclosed by a pair of triple quotes `"""`. |
| The opening quote must be followed by a newline. |
| The closing quote must also be on a newline. |
| The whitespace directly preceding the closing quote must match the preceding |
| whitespace on all other lines and is removed from these lines. |
| |
| Strings may also contain [interpolations](interpolation.md). |
