    I have a very simple question with regard to coding style: As we do not have a “line end signal” like this

    if condition ; <- line end signal

    then do action1 ; action2 ; action3 ;

    done

    how can we achieve better readability of the code if a line is very long (I usually try to limit lines to 80 chars, good old times rule). Example:

    Return MyVeryLongVariableName1 as "Long Variable 1", MyVerLongVariableName2 as "Long Variable 2", MyVeryLongVariableName3 as "Long Variable 3"

    Yes, I kow the ProBuilder editor (as any editor) can do automatic word wrapping but this makes reading not necessarily easier. Thanks.

    There is no possibility than let ProBuilder do the words wrapping all by itself. It is not possible to break code lines ourselves, otherwise it would result of syntax error.

    Ok, I can live with that 😉
