On an advanced computer if you do print("hi") in the editor it is red I am asking you to make stuff like print("He took a \"Turd\".") in the editor red

Simply use a better editor (I'm referencing Sublime Text 3). You don't really want to be writing programs in that editor, do you?

So you're asking to change the syntax highlighting for strings, so that a string containing double quotations is displayed properly?
For example:
For example:
For example:
print("Hello, this is red.") --#would highlight the string red
print("Hello, I call this color \"red\".") --#while syntatically correct, the syntax highlighter in the editor will only highlight the first and second set of quotationsFor example:
print('Hello, using "single quotations" to start and end my string, I am able to do what you need')

Or fix the editor yourself. Or get ST3. It really is a good editor, and has a trial. For servers without HTTP, that you don't have access to the files on, you can use a program like AutoTyper or one of the other ones.
