background coloring of muliline strings

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
In Editor Options| Syntax Colors| Documentation  set a background color.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Background coloring looks ugly on multiline strings, because it does not 
follow indentation.

Proposing two alternative solutions:
-Don't apply the background color to characters within the indented 
rectangular white space in front of the multiline string.
OR:
-Apply background color everywhere in a rectangle enclosing the multiline 
string, even at character possitions where there are no characters in the 
file.

I think the second alternative would look superior: you see a nice 
documentation box that is not interupted by empty lines.  But there could 
be technical reasons to prefer the first.

Nice suggestion, but it is rather hard to implement and there are other issues 
with
higher priority that need attention.
