Allow multi-line strings to have a newline in the file without having a newline in the string
JimmyCushnie opened this issue · comments
It is awkward to work with files which have very long strings without line breaks. There should be a way to break the line in the file without changing the returned string when it is loaded by SUCC.
One option is to have a character at the end of lines which tells the parser to ignore the line breaks.

The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid.

If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

Another option would be to pull a markdown: ignore single newlines, and treat double newlines as a single newline.
Resolved in b8105d0 , using the initially proposed method. If a multi-line string contains a line that actually ends with a \, that line will be quoted, similarly to if a line ends with a space.
