27.1.1.4 Managing line breaks in macro definitions
A macro definition does not have to be all on one line; Mif2Go ignores line breaks when processing macros. However, any implicit line breaks (hard returns) in the definition are retained in output when a macro is expanded.
To remove an implicit line break so it does not appear in the output, end the line in question with a backslash "\".
To remove all implicit line breaks from macros upon expansion:
; OmitMacroReturns = No (default)
; or Yes (omit macro linebreaks in output)
Be aware that omitting all line breaks means that the code generated from each expanded macro--even JavaScript code--ends up all on one line in the output. Few browsers can handle the very long lines that might result.
If you specify OmitMacroReturns=Yes, but still need line breaks in some macros to keep line lengths reasonable in output, you can insert a C-style line terminator "\n" in the definition, even in the middle of a line, wherever you want an explicit line break in the output.
