Below is a screenshot (might show up as attached image depending on your email client) of a real-world use-case (I need to store a bit of HTML in that multi-line string variable):
While that variable gets parsed correctly, the fontification style gives a feeling that something is wrong with the syntax (when it's not).
Can a "nested string face" like the font-lock-doc-face applied to conf-mode and conf-toml-mode in the below 3rd and final screenshot be applied to the double-quoted parts in a multi-line TOML string?
Thanks!
