Hello A.,

Awaiting new newline management..

For that you can use %newline or %n builtin function, as:

@startuml

!unquoted procedure $foo(s)
file f [
s
]
!endprocedure

$foo(a%newline()b%n()\
Very long%newline()\
mulitline\
%n()\
parameter)

Ok that works though I had to use a quoted procedure and an equaliy quoted parameter.

I fill beeing able to invoke procedure as we open/close title or notes would be a great plus.
