Currently each entry must be a single line of text. This results in long lines, especially on the RHS.<br><br>I have experimentally inserted a transformation of the DSL text (in DSLTokenizedMappingFile)<br>which converts '\'+EOL on the fly to a space. (The passed-in reader is read into a buffer, '\'+EOL<br>
is translated to space, and EOLs are inserted later to readjust the line number.) In a text editor,<br>I can now write, e.g.,<br><br>then][][Bb]ook the customer for the flight=\<br> $f.setAvailable( $f.getAvailable() - 1 );\<br>
update( $f ); \<br> Booking booking = new Booking(); \<br> booking.setCustomer( $r.getCustomer() ); \<br> booking.setFlight( $f ); \<br> insert( booking );<br><br>
Of course, the DSL editor will not preserve this, but future development might provide more<br>
convenient editing there, too.<br><br>Any objections?<br><font color="#888888">-W<br>
