An issue about Template Literal syntax

[NWU-NISL]

According to ES6.0, the syntax of Template Literal Lexical Components has explained that the LineTerminatorSequence could appear in the template string. But rhino throws an exception at compilation when <LF> appears in the string below. This may be an issue of rhino.

version

1.7.12

command

java -jar  rhino/rhino-1.7.12.jar -debug -version 200 testcase.js

testcase

var str1 = `hello\nrhino`;
var str2 = `hello
rhino`;
print(str1);
print(str2);

output

line 2: unterminated string literal
var str2 = `hello
................^
line 3: unterminated string literal
rhino`;
......^
line 1: Compilation produced 2 syntax errors.

expected output

hello
rhino
hello
rhino

Template Literals are not currently implemented, so you may want to hold off running your tests on them for now.

Thanks for replying!
Executing the test case below could get the expected output. The Template Literals is not completely implemented, is it?

testcase

var str1 = `hello\nrhino`;
print(str1);

expected output

hello
rhino
