Raw literal strings in Julia
escaping, julia, string, string-literals
Solution
From Julia 0.6 we have `raw"\a$variable"`
Problem
In Python one can write `r"a\nb"` in order to prevent the `\n` from being interpreted as an escape sequence for newline. Is there something similar in Julia? And what about string interpolation like `"$variable"`, is there a way to prevent it? I know one can simply write `"a\\nb"` and `"\$variable"` in Julia, but I would like to write a lot of LaTeX strings without having to care to proper escape every backslash `\` and dollar `$` characters... (In Julia, `r"..."` creates a regular expression.)
