+string-with-newline         = "\n"
+string-with-carriage-return = "\r"
+string-with-double-quote    = "\""
+string-with-slash           = "\\"
+```
+
+```sh
+$ just --evaluate
+"tring-with-carriage-return = "
+string-with-double-quote = """
+string-with-newline = "
+"
+string-with-slash = "\"
+string-with-tab = "     "
+```
+

+```

+raw-string = "\t\n\r\"\\"
+```
