One can also use bracket arguments: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.7/manual/cmake-language.7.html#bracket-argument but they (intentionally) don't process any variable references. Also they don't ignore indentation. > "Enable additional diagnostic logs for zPay related code.

Correct. > Is there a mechanism I can use to style my strings this way? One can do it with an intermediate variable: ``` string(CONCAT mystringvar "Enable additional diagnostic logs for zPay related code. " "Should not be enabled for production due to the sensitivity " "and volume of logs that will be printed" ) option(ZIOSK_ENABLE_ZPAY_DIAGNOSTICS "${mystringvar}") ``` > are there any plans to add better multi-line string support?
