+Note [Multiline string literals]
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Multiline string literals were added following the acceptance of the
+proposal: https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/569
+
+Multiline string literals are syntax sugar for normal string literals,
+with an extra post processing step. This all happens in the Lexer; that
+is, HsMultilineString will contain the post-processed string. This matches
+the same behavior as HsString, which contains the normalized string
+(see Note [Literal source text]).
+
+The string is post-processed with the following steps:
+1. Collapse string gaps
+2. Split the string by newlines
+3. Convert leading tabs into spaces
+    * In each line, any tabs preceding non-whitespace characters are replaced with spaces up to the next tab stop
+4. Remove common whitespace prefix in every line (see below)
+5. If a line contains only whitespace, remove all of the whitespace
+6. Join the string back with `\n` delimiters
+7. If the first character of the string is a newline, remove it
+8. Interpret escaped characters
+
+The common whitespace prefix can be informally defined as "The longest
+prefix of whitespace shared by all lines in the string, excluding the
+first line and any whitespace-only lines".
+
+It's more precisely defined with the following algorithm:
+
+1. Take a list representing the lines in the string
+2. Ignore the following elements in the list:
+    * The first line (we want to ignore everything before the first newline)

+Multiline string literals
+-------------------------
+
+.. extension:: MultilineStrings
+    :shortdesc: Enable multiline string literals.
+
+    :since: 9.12.1
+
+    Enable multiline string literals.
+
+With this extension, GHC now recognizes multiline string literals with ``"""`` delimiters. Indentation is automatically stripped, and gets desugared to normal string literals, so it works as expected for ``OverloadedStrings`` and any other functionality. The indentation that is stripped can be informally defined as "The longest prefix of whitespace shared by all lines in the string, excluding the first line and any whitespace-only lines".
+
+Normal string literals are lexed, then string gaps are collapsed, then escape characters are resolved. Multiline string literals add the following post-processing steps between collapsing string gaps and resolving escape characters:
+
+#. Split the string by newlines
+
+#. Replace leading tabs with spaces up to the next tab stop
+
+#. Remove common whitespace prefix in every line
+
+#. If a line only contains whitespace, remove all of the whitespace
+
+#. Join the string back with ``\n`` delimiters
+
+#. If the first character of the string is a newline, remove it
+
+Examples
+~~~~~~~~
+
+.. code-blocks use plain text because the Haskell syntax for pygments doesn't
+   support multiline strings yet. Remove if/when pygments adds multiline
+   strings to Haskell
