Continuation sections not working with variable assignments

[Ciceroids]

The example of using parentheses to mark a continuation section in the V2 CHM file is along the lines of:

var =
(
First line of text
Second line of text
)

Probably due to the removal of simple "=" as an assignment operator, the above example now returns the error that this is a call to a non-existent function. Using ":=" instead does not solve this. Is there a way of achieving the desired result?

Splitting a Long Line into a Series of Shorter Ones - Method #2 - EXAMPLE #1

its the same as if there was no continuation section

this makes no sense:

Code: Select all

;would you replace this
var = one line of text

; with this?
var := one line of text

; of course not
