if idx = 2 then 
    idx = idx + 25 
    output = #/ 
        #Dear Mr. John Doe, 
        # 
        #I am very happy for your support 
        # 
        #Mr. Jeff Doe 
        #/ 
else 
    .... more .... 
end if 

Suppose we combine these ideas: Use the /@ (or whatever) once and its location determines how far whitespace will be striped to:

sequence c_code = /@if ( strcmp( "foo", "bar" ) == 1 ) { 
                       printf("strcmp works correctly."); 
                  } 
@/ 
-- c_code is "if ( strcmp( \"foo\", \"bar\" ) == 1 ) {\n\tprintf(\"strcmp works correctly.\");\n}\n" 

I don't think it is nice to require a line continuation symbol for this kind of quoting. However, it is good to allow the programmer to put whitespace for readability.
