Description
Hi,
I wanted to draw attention to the fact that formatted-raw string literals are syntax highlighted by MagicPython as if they were ordinary raw string literals, without any special syntax highlighting given to the contents of the curly braces. See examples below:
Is there any chance this could fixed/enhanced?
Cheers!
