| Character combinations consisting
of a backslash (\) followed by a letter or by a combination
of digits are called “escape sequences.” To represent a newline
character, single quotation mark, or certain other characters
in a character constant, you must use escape sequences. An escape
sequence is regarded as a single character and is therefore
valid as a character constant.
Escape sequences are typically used to specify actions such
as carriage returns and tab movements. They are also used
to provide literal representations of nonprinting characters
and characters that usually have special meanings, such as
the double quotation mark ("). A following table lists
all escape sequences used by HTML Batch Editor PRO. |
