specify interactions between characters and combining characters #3

Closed timo closed 4 years ago

timo commented 5 years ago

an example being starting a string with a combining character; how do you do it in jeml? for example, when a "̈ is found at the start of a string, does that result in a string starting with a loose combiner, or is it a syntax error? if i understand correctly, there's even combining characters that go before the base character, but i just can't find good info on that; something with Prepend_Concatenation_Mark maybe? Anyway, in theory that means there'd want to be a decision whether a lone prepended combining character before a " will end a quoted string or not

I'm not sure I fully understand what you mean. Could you give me a written example?

And I think it mostly depends on how JEML should handle strings going forward. If I'm understanding your question correctly, using the """ syntax for strings would mean that your value gets parsed literally, so a "lone prepended combining character before a [quote]" would not end a quoted string.
