<p>Even special characters like a newline can appear in a string literal, so that string literals are automatically multi-line.</p>

-<p><strong>List notation</strong> uses angle brackets <code><span class='Bracket'>⟨⟩</span></code>. The contents are structurally identical to those of a <a href="block.html">block</a>, that is, a list of expressions <a href="syntax.html#separators">separated</a> by <code><span class='Separator'>,</span></code> or <code><span class='Separator'>⋄</span></code> or newlines. Unlike a block, a list doesn't need to have any expressions: <code><span class='Bracket'>⟨⟩</span></code> or <code><span class='Bracket'>⟨</span><span class='Separator'>⋄</span><span class='Bracket'>⟩</span></code> or <code><span class='Bracket'>⟨</span><span class='Separator'>,,⋄,</span><span class='Bracket'>⟩</span></code> will create an empty list. Other differences are that a list doesn't introduce a new <a href="lexical.html">scope</a> and all of the expressions have to result in a value, not Nothing (<code><span class='Nothing'>·</span></code>).</p>

<p>Entries in a list are evaluated in source order, and the value will be the list of those results. The list has a subject role, even if it contains expressions with other roles. Any value can be an element.</p>
