6. If you want text with spaces to be treated as a single argument, it
|
||||
can be enclosed in either single or double or triple quotes. A long
|
||||
single argument enclosed in single or double quotes can span multiple
|
||||
lines if the "&" character is used, as described above. When the
|
||||
lines are concatenated together (and the "&" characters and line
|
||||
breaks removed), the text will become a single line. If you want
|
||||
multiple lines of an argument to retain their line breaks, the text
|
||||
can be enclosed in triple quotes, in which case "&" characters are
|
||||
not needed. For example:
|
||||
can be enclosed in either single (') or double (") or triple (""")
|
||||
quotes. A long single argument enclosed in single or double quotes
|
||||
can span multiple lines if the "&" character is used, as described
|
||||
in :ref:`1 <one>` above. When the lines are concatenated together
|
||||
by LAMMPS (and the "&" characters and line breaks removed), the
|

combined text will become a single line. If you want multiple lines
|
||||
of an argument to retain their line breaks, the text can be enclosed
|
||||
in triple quotes, in which case "&" characters are not needed and do
|
||||
not function as line continuation character. For example:
