Subject: bug#7524: 24.0.50; backquote converts newlines in strings to "\n"
Date: Tue, 30 Nov 2010 22:10:03 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9C4145152E1B4A9890C4A8DA520A51ED@us.oracle.com> (raw)

Evaluate this:
 
`("Foo" . (lambda ()
            "Four score and seven years ago
Our forefathers brought forth etc.
Etc., etc., etc."
            (message "HOWDY")))
 
That doc string is a literal string with two embedded newline chars.
Evaluation converts each of those chars to a string of two chars: "\n":
 
("Foo" lambda nil "Four score and seven years ago\nOur forefathers brought forth
etc.\nEtc., etc., etc."
 (message "Howdy"))
 
Shouldn't happen.  (This is particularly messy when used in defcustom
values.)
