embedded-struct-visualize VS graphviz

Graphviz made it really easy for me to plot dependencies in Go data structures! After I put together a lexer, Graphviz took care of all the difficult work of making sense of the data: https://github.com/davidschlachter/embedded-struct-visualize...

That's interesting. It's not hard to see the problem. HTML labels don't help, either. How do other languages solve this? Like, a shell HERE document that has one fixed string as a terminator? The graphviz lexer https://gitlab.com/graphviz/graphviz/-/blob/main/lib/cgraph/... seems hackable but disabling downstream processing of escapes elsewhere would be necessary too. Possibly this would mean bypassing some of the processing in the function make_label in https://gitlab.com/graphviz/graphviz/-/blob/main/lib/common/...

It's a disappointment or even failure of our current language scanning and parsing tools or, really, the way we used them, that this is not an easy exercise.
