How to break a long line of arguments into several short lines?


Example:

Log To Console   This is the first argument   This is the second argument   This is the third argument

How can I break a line with multiple short arguments?

I tried using \ or just breaking the lines (without using any special characters) but it didn't work.

Edit: To clarify - I want to provide arguments to a keyword in multiple lines. I want to physically split one long line of source code into multiple short lines.


Solution

  • From the User Guide:

    If there is more data than readily fits a row, it possible to use ellipsis (...) to continue the previous line.
