#809 \usepackage doesn’t always pick up packages for highlighting

[doncherry]

Packages are not recognized for cwl highlighting if

1. two packages are loaded in one \usepackage command; only the first package is recognized:

   \usepackage{lipsum, blindtext}
   \lipsum
   \blindtext
   

2. the \usepackage macro is broken across two lines:

   \usepackage[someoption
      ]{lipsum}
   \usepackage{
      blindtext}
   \lipsum
   \blindtext

txs can not understand commands which are broken over several lines.
This is a general limitation and is not considered as a bug.
Furthermore if you leave out the space before "blindtext" in usepackage, the txs parser works fine.

Thanks, good to know! Nonetheless, then it’d be a feature request for TXS to recognize commands that are broken over several lines :)

white space problem fixed, multi line commands are not supported

[doncherry]

Thanks! Is there any point in submitting a separate feature request for the multi line commands?

[Tim Hoffmann]

Feel free. It's good to have this documented. However, I can already tell you, that it won't be implemented in the foreseeable future, because this would require a complete rewrite of the parser, which is currently line-based.

Follow-up posted in [feature-requests:#549].

[Jan Sundermeyer]

Well, it does not hurt but it does not accelerate anything as the
developers are aware of the limitation. Since the fix is not easy, it
will probably not resolved soon ...
