Do you have any formatted code to share?

That syntax error is usually due to missing quotes at the end of a string or the quotes don’t match in a string. (Use of single and double quotes). Or, if one has a multiple line string make sure to wrap it in triple quotes or use an escape character at the end of each in multi line string.
