Hi Jan,
I have notd the same difficulty, which is why I rarely use the heredoc tool. My
suggestion would be to give any printing or
string generating function using heredocs the entire function to itself. This way the
printiable text makes sense in its own
right, without the jarring effect on the surrounding code.
