11.7.2.  Highlighting

   Extensions from RFC 9110:

   x = 1#2y

   Extensions from RFC 7405:

   x = %s"case-sensitive"
   y = %i"case-insensitive"

   Literals:

   hex    = %x0F.0A

   string = "abcde <y>"
   string = "foo;bar"

   Broken literals:

   binary = %b00-12
   DIGIT  = %x30-39-4A
   string = "abcde"fgh"

   Prose:

   foo = <simple prose string>
   bar = <with "double quotes">
   qux = <with '<' inside>

   Using <sourcecode>:

   left = right ; comment

   Broken prose and string literals:

   foo = <no ABNF available,
     but that does not justify a line break>
   extra = <good>bad ; comment
   bar = "illegal characters in string literal: &#9225;"
   qux = "runaway string
   qux2 = "in string literal"
