String: Documentation/Example Error

Hiya, there's a slight error on this page

http://processing.org/reference/String.html

"Because a String is defined within quotes, including quotes in a String requires the (backslash) character to be used (see the second example above)."

The second example, however, completely lacks any backslashes!

it reads as follows:

// Use a backslash to include quotes in a String
String quoted = "This one has "quotes"";
println(quoted);  // This one has "quotes"

when it should look like:

// Use a backslash to include quotes in a String
String quoted = "This one has \"quotes\"";
println(quoted);  // This one has "quotes"
Back to top
