 All those lines are interpreted as undefined macros and are therefore not
 displayed.
 
 You may want to start them with an empty char '\', split the lines
 somewhere else, or use any other solution I am not aware of.

Very well spotted.

 You may want to start them with an empty char '\', split the lines
 somewhere else, or use any other solution I am not aware of.

\fP at the beginning of the line would be another NOP.
