GDScript: Clarify raw string literals documentation

two consecutive quotes of the same type (unless they are adjacent to the string edges).

**Raw string literals** always encode the string as it appears in the source code.
|
||||
This is especially useful for regular expressions. Raw strings do not process escape sequences,
|

but you can "escape" a quote or backslash (they replace themselves).
|

This is especially useful for regular expressions. A raw string literal doesn't process escape sequences,
|
||||
however it does recognize ``\\`` and ``\"`` (``\'``) and replaces them with themselves.
|
||||
Thus, a string can have a quote that matches the opening one, but only if it's preceded by a backslash.

|

|

print("\tchar=\"\\t\"") # Prints ` char="\t"`.
|
||||
print(r"\tchar=\"\\t\"") # Prints `\tchar=\"\\t\"`.

.. note::

|
||||
Some strings cannot be represented using raw string literals: you cannot have an odd number
|
||||
of backslashes at the end of a string or have an unescaped opening quote inside the string.
|
||||
However, in practice this doesn't matter since you can use a different quote type
|
||||
or use concatenation with a regular string literal.

GDScript also supports :ref:`format strings <doc_gdscript_printf>`.
