Multiline literal description confusing

[abellgithub]

The text describing a multiline string is confusing. An example that shows how various multiline strings are manifest would be helpful. Or perhaps a link to a reference document?

Is

  let text = """
  foo
  bar
  """

different from

  let text = """
  foo
  bar
    """

etc.

Multi-line strings are described in the specification: https://github.com/val-lang/specification/blob/main/spec.md#string-literals

I'll add a link in the tour.

Your two examples are different. The second one is illegal.

Actually, the text in the tour is the same as in the specification. I'll leave this issue open to remind me to add more examples.

I thought that some syntax might be illegal, but the text doesn't make it clear. Even the language reference is a bit unclear, partly because it's hard to count spaces. Perhaps the text could be written differently. Maybe:

The number of spaces preceding the closing delimiter indicate the indentation count. Each line after the opening delimiter will have indentation count spaces removed from the front of the line. If each line does not contain at least indentation count spaces at the beginning of the line, the multiline string is malformed.

Does the BNF in the language ref capture this? I'm not sure that it does.
