Hi Jürgen,
the ∇-editor does indeed preserve leading space for ««« ... »»»
[0] x
[1] t←«««
[2] text1
[3] longtext2
[4] what ever
[5] »»»
[6] t
x
text1
longtext2
what ever
Could ⍞FX use the same logic?
It would simplify more elaborate and structured help output.

Hi Hans-Peter,
thanks. What you see is the standard APL2 behavior
(see attached screenshot). ⎕FX and the ∇-editor
discard leading whitespace.

Hi,
⎕FX does not maintain the multi-line string fidelity,
leading spaces get removed.:
m←'x' 'h← «««' 'ddddd' ' lpppp' '»»»'
⊃m
x
h← «««
ddddd
lpppp
»»»
⎕FX m
⊃h
ddddd
