DEMO_PAGE_INTRO_HTML not shown on oTree hub

[peterjc]

Steps to reproduce at time of writing:

1. Goto https://www.otreehub.com/projects/mdt-intr-exp-met/
2. Text includes the line "To edit your app's description, go to settings.py and edit DEMO_PAGE_INTRO_HTML."
3. Click "Browse source code"
4. Click "settings.py"
5. Notice that DEMO_PAGE_INTRO_HTML is set:

...
DEMO_PAGE_INTRO_HTML = 'Risk attitude lottery game based on Holt and Laury (2002), followed by an interactive multi-player game about volunteering. <a href="https://github.com/peterjc/MDT-INTR-EXP-MET">Source code on GitHub</a>.'

The text is shown correctly on the demo page:

1. Goto https://mdt-intr-exp-met.herokuapp.com/demo
2. Notice following description in right hand side box "Risk attitude lottery game based on Holt and Laury (2002), followed by an interactive multi-player game about volunteering. Source code on GitHub." (with link)

Based on #107, were using DEMO_PAGE_INTRO_HTML with triple-quoted string broke, I suspect there is an ad hoc parser involved. This may not support all the Python string syntax?

[peterjc]

All the working examples from a quick browse on oTree Hub use a triple-quoted multi-line string, like this:

DEMO_PAGE_INTRO_HTML = """
Experiment.
"""

Thank you for the report. Yes it's not 100% accurate but my goal is just to capture most of those strings.

[peterjc]

So if I really want my example's description to show, just use a multi-line triple quoted string as a workaround?

[peterjc]

Confirming successful workaround using a triple-quoted multi-line string, however surprisingly even with an introduction string the message about how to change it is still shown.
