correcting linebreaks: `\n` --> `\\n` about pytest-accept HOT 4 CLOSED

Thanks @aaronspring . I'll have a look.

One thing I've found works for these is to use r""" for docstrings. Let me see whether that works in this case. Either way, this should be a nicer experience than it currently is

from pytest-accept.

FWIW this does fix the immediate problem:

diff --git a/examples/escapes.py b/examples/escapes.py
index 97f7d2f..17f8b9d 100644

 def func(a, b):
-    """
+    r"""
     Example:
     >>> import xarray as xr
     >>> func(xr.DataArray([5], dims='a'), xr.DataArray([1], dims='a'))

We could at least check for the r / insert an r.

But would you actually prefer that the \n are newlines rather than \n characters? I could imagine that's clearer.

I'm guessing this behavior is something to do with how we print the repr in xarray, since normally printing \n does give us an actual new line:

    >>> print("testing\ntesting")
    testing
    testing

Edit: it's that the arrays are atrs so that part is up to xarray, and xarray is probably doing the correct thing for reprs within attrs

thanks for the r"""doc strings""" that works

I dont have an opinion
