Continuation Lines

It is not always possible to fit a complete SCL command onto one line due to SCL's maximum line length, so SCL allows you to use continuation lines.

An SCL command may be split over two or more lines by ending split lines with a continuation character. This shows more of the command is given on the next line. The continuation character may be an ampersand or hyphen (& or -). To avoid possible confusion with the minus character, it is recommended that the hyphen not be used for line continuation. It is good practice to separate the continuation character character from the preceding characters on the line by at least one space.

The only characters that may follow a line continuation character on a line are whitespace and comments. Here is an example:

GET URL "http://osta.lan/" &
	ON Conid &
	HEADER Sub-Heads & ! default headers
	WITHOUT "Referer"
