The criterion for automatic line-continuation is actually that a line
ends with a comma (outside of any comment, obviously).It's documented
in the Introduction to the Gretl Command Reference.
Ah, OK, thanks. I had only seen the remark in ch. 3 of the main guide.
("Note that long commands in a script can be broken over two or more
lines, using backslash as a continuation character.")
Another thing that had me doubting was that I tried to split literal
matrix definitions, but I did that after the row, i.e. after the
semicolon, which didn't work. But in general it's pretty cool that it
works with a comma also in more general contexts, I wasn't aware of that.
thanks
