Description Laura David Hurka 2021-07-19 14:35:57 UTC 
SUMMARY
C++ raw string are recognized correctly. For example, writing the following in a .cpp file highlights the whole line as C++ string:

> R"raw(abcdef)wrong"  // This raw string looks shorter that it is.   )raw"

However, the whole line is highlighted in only one style. It would be helpful, if the syntax highlight in this case differentiates between the delimiters R"raw( and )raw", and the content.
This is currently not configurable, the whole raw string is just a “C++ String”.

I would like to change the highlight only for the delimiters.

isocpp.xml: Highlight raw string delimeters

Highlighting "delim" in R"delim(content)delim"
helps in differentiating the raw string delimiter
from the actual content and also makes it easier
to spot mismatching delimiters.
