#172 Handle triple-quotes different to other strings in hiliter

[Andreas M.]

Hi,

I would like to ask, whether it is possible to have
docstrings being highlighted in a different color than
the other strings.

Ie: """foo""" against "foo"

Well, currently not, but it could be an interesting option...

docstrings and """ strings are two different things.

docstrings are the first string in a class/module/etc.

""" is a strong quote.

It just happens that most docstrings use strong quotes, and most strong quotes are docstrings, but neither is necessarily always true.

I also see that docstrings are treated/highlighted just like ordinary strings.

It would be nice to have functionality to make that distinction. That is, by adding the ability to set different colors for docstrings, """, " and ' type strings.
