I don't see how it could be done without introducing ambiguity that breaks existing scripts. For example, the part in blue of the following line could be either part of the window's title or the literal word "Else":

if (x = 0) then WinActivate, WinTitle Else Run Notepad

That's an interesting idea. Perhaps it can be done with a concise second character, perhaps two open-parentheses instead of one:

Thanks for the ideas.

How about allowing a block in inline? Block start and block end treated as punctuation.


Okay, there's the {FunctionKey} collection to worry about, for one thing. Maybe {:...} (colon required) or { ... } (spaces before and after block) would help.

This isn't critical. If I wanted I could write my own parser to convert a script written "my way" to yours ... I think I could

Regarding the original topic, it seems best not to change the default to be LTrim. However, the directive #LTrim has been added to make multiple continuation sections use the LTrim setting.

In addition, line merging has been further improved: 1) A line starting with period/dot is automatically appended to the line above it (period is the concatenate operator in expressions); 2) Comments and blank lines may exist between continuation lines without affecting the merger.
