In section 3.10.6 Text Blocks of the updated spec;
"The opening delimiter is a sequence that starts with three double quote characters ("""), continues with zero or more space, tab, and form feed characters, and concludes with a line terminator."
However, the JEP 378 description reads "The opening delimiter is a sequence of three double quote characters (""") followed by zero or more white spaces followed by a line terminator.
javac uses the Character.isWhitespace test for characters following the opening three double quote characters.
Shouldn't the spec read as;
"The opening delimiter is a sequence that starts with three double quote characters ("""), continues with zero or more white space characters (Ex. space, tab, and form feed), and concludes with a line terminator."?
Cheers,
