Editing Script File Structure (section)

== Line Terminators ==
Papyrus scripts are delineated into lines which determine where one statement ends and another begins. However, if you have a particularly long statement that you want to put on multiple lines, then you can add a "\" character to the end of the line and continue it on the next line. Slash characters inside comments are ignored (because everything in a comment is ignored), but you can put a comment after the slash if you wish

=== Examples ===
<syntaxhighlight lang="papyrus">
; Two statements separated by a line terminator
x = 1 + 2
y = 2 * 3
</syntaxhighlight>
<br>
<syntaxhighlight lang="papyrus">
; One long statement broken into two lines
x = 1 + 2 \
  + 3 + 4
</syntaxhighlight>
<br>
<syntaxhighlight lang="papyrus">
; Slash in this line is ignored, because it is in a comment \
x = 1 + 2 ; This line isn't inside the above comment
</syntaxhighlight>
