I think I know what you mean.
I've run into that myself.
You have a big chunk or maybe a whole large page of HTML to
output, but with a bit of variable stuff mixed in.
It gets a bit tiresome to have to say:
   puts(1, " blah blah blah ... \n")
   puts(1, " yada yada yada ... \n")
   etc.

You'd like to put a large multi-line literal string into your program
without having to add quotes, new-lines, brackets etc. 
everywhere. i.e. just:
 blah blah blah ... 
 yada yada yada ... 

Normally Euphoria limits strings to one line (though you can
use & to get around that).

I guess we could invent some new syntax for that situation.
I'm open to suggestion. I don't think it would be hard to implement.
