Re: [bug-recutils] Block delimiters for field content

[Aaron Peters]

Hi Jose,

More about writability? I know the recins command will take care of adding line returns with the "+" delimiter (and recsel will likewise return fields without them).

I'm more likely to be modifying recfiles directly in a text editor though, and block delimiters woould make it both more readable and writable.

Thanks!

Hi Aaron.

    I'm looking at recutils for a particular project that requires many
    instances of multi-line field content (specifically blocks of
    Asciidoc markup).

    While the "+" heading for subsequent lines are useful, any chance we
    could see block-level delimiters... like comments in code? Perhaps a
    "+++" after the field label, and "+++" on alone by itself to close
    it? Or something like org-mode uses for fenced code.

Hmm, is it about readability?  The recutils can give you the contents of
mult-line fields with the new-line marks removed.
