AFAIK, the parser is mostly 'greedy' and keeps parsing and skipping over \n trying to compose the longest sentence that makes sense. This is a feature (IMO) that allows us to break complex/longish statements/expressions onto several lines, for better readability, a feature I wouldn't want to ditch by making \n a statement/expression terminator, except, perhaps, in some very few special situations. -- Jorge. _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
