Thanks, But that is my point.

I do not want to do that, even if it is done by an editor.

I'd rather just write, for example, in Python:

s =r"""
\documentclass[12pt,titlepage]{article}
\begin{document}
\title{%(title)s}
\date{%(date)s}
  
The following in known equation $\sin^2(x)+\cos^2(x)=1$ and this
is 100%(p)s correct. This was written on %(date)s and this is a
string "I am a string" and this is \n which is left as is.
  
\end{document}
"""

Which I can do in any editor, even using notepad.exe on windows :)

And if I have to edit it again (add/remove stuff), which happens
all the time, much easier to edit the raw string, than your version.
