Multi-line expressions?
« on: April 21, 2009, 03:54:03 pm »

In MC 12, the expression editor allowed rudimentary formatting via multi-line expressions (tabs, new lines):

Quote
6. Changed: Expressions support tabs and new line formatting in functions to increase readability.
      Example: IF(A,B,C) becomes
         IF(A,
            B
         ,
            C
         )
7. NEW: Expression editor shows large, multiline text area. (instead of single line)

In MC 13, there is reference to a multi-line as well:

Quote
8. Fixed: The expression editor in the "View Scheme Item" dialog was not multi-line.

I can't seem to find any reference, or figure out how it is used.  Copy/paste of the multi-line selection above seems to barf.

Is this supported in MC13?

btw. A good expression syntax editor would be very handy, so that we can move beyond these 80's single-line-only mondo, hard to parse beasts! ;-)

OK, so I see in MC 13 where the View Scheme Item is (so many places to look!), and can enter multi-line expressions there.

But still my question/request stands re: other areas where expressions can be entered.
