Say I have a long line of plantuml markup and I also have an 80 char/line limit that I would prefer not to go past.  Is there any way to wrap a single line "command" onto the next?

This is not possible in current version.

However, what about having the following feature: a \ character at the end of a line would indicates that this line is wrapped.

This would allow:

@startuml
bob -> alice : this a long \
message on a single line
@enduml

Would it meet your need ?
