Description quetschke 2006-04-20 16:00:05 UTC 
This is a followup for issue 44959. The dmake documentation should clearly
state the difference of \<nl> in macro definitions and other lines, i.e.
whitespace for recipe lines and "" for macro definitions.
Comment 1 quetschke 2006-08-20 18:31:57 UTC 
Committed to dmake46.
Comment 2 quetschke 2006-08-20 18:35:22 UTC 
@ause: Please verify.
Comment 3 hjs 2006-09-11 13:03:21 UTC 
still found "...is used to terminate a LINE. ". didn't you suggest "... is used
to continue a LINE" in #i44959#?.
Comment 4 quetschke 2006-09-13 19:25:14 UTC 
Yes, but I convinced myself that "terminate" is OK in this context. I hope the
whole paragraph got a bit more readable in the current version.
Comment 5 hjs 2006-09-14 13:31:05 UTC
