Can you Impove code reading by multi line descreptions?

Question

As with comments /' ... '/ with multiple lines it would be nice to add descriptions not only into one line of code for an object to improve readability.

Any way to do it not all in one line as in  "this \nsimple \ndescription \nwhich will show on 5 lines", e.g. by supporting it this way:

object .... /"
this \n
simple \n
description \n
which will show on \n
5 lines
"/ .... as obj1{ ... }

Answer 1

Hello S., and all,

For that you can use the line continuation operator `\` and `\n\`, as:

object "\
this \n\
simple \n\
description \n\
which will show on \n\
5 lines\n\
" as obj1 {
id = 123
}
