I just tried that with Rakudo v2031.03 and got a compile time error for this line: = :newkey<newvalue> Preceding context expects a term, but found infix = instead.

This was so for anywhere from zero to 10 spaces between the `=` and `:newkey<newvalue>`. > However, the intent of S26, as stated in the raku documentation, is for > the first variant above to work, and also for the following case > > (this being what is intended as a virtual margin): > > =head1 :newkey<value> > > = :newkey<newvalue> For me I got the same error (for the ` = :newkey<newvalue>` line). > But this does works (and it seems to be two virtual margins) > > =head1 :key<value> > > = :newkey<newvalue> Same error. My results vs yours suggest someone has changed this behavior between v2021.3 and your version. Having looked at commits to Grammar.nqp since 2021.03 I don't understand how that can be if you're using a later version. > I have looked at the grammar for this situation, which I think is at > > https://github.com/finanalyst/rakudo/blob/ae2bf80dae74986c75f9a610f7a25cc1f6cdbb36/src/Perl6/Grammar.nqp#L5093 Blame suggests that code was.last affected (merely moved) 3 years ago: https://github.com/finanalyst/rakudo/blame/ae2bf80dae74986c75f9a610f7a25cc1f6cdbb36/src/Perl6/Grammar.nqp#L5093 > but I cannot see why the actual behaviour occurs, but the documented > (apparently intended) behaviour does not. The behaviour change and blame suggests it's not due to that line. ---- Alternatively I am utterly confused. Either way, happy new year. :) -- love, ralph
