Multi-line lists

[bcgoss]

I love the look and feel of this so far. One use case I imagined was a list that got very long, say a list of admins with 20 emails. It would run off the right side of the page.

admins "[email protected]" "[email protected]" "[email protected]" ...

With multi line strings I could just make the whole list a big string but the concern also applies to a long list of numbers. Is there a way to break this long list into multiple lines? If so can we clarify the readme to show it? If not what would it look like? As a discussion starter I propose square brackets

admins [
  "[email protected]"
  "[email protected]"
  "[email protected]"
  ...
]

Apologies if this was discussed elsewhere I tried to read everything that seemed relevant but there's a lot conversations happening and I might have missed it.

Yes! You can use linespaces for this:

admins \
  "[email protected]" \
  "[email protected]" \
  "[email protected]"

Though in general, I recommend switching to children if you expect something to become unbounded like this. If you want to be clever, you can even use the node names as string values:

admins {
  "[email protected]"
  "[email protected]"
  "[email protected]"
  ...
}

But use whatever you feel fits your needs better! KDL is flexible~
