Syslinux - Mar 2013 - Is breaking up an APPEND statement into multiple lines now supported in 5.0x or 5.1x?

Hi,

I am updating some of our extlinux.conf files and wondering if

(from <http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/SYSLINUX#APPEND_options...>)

is still valid.

In other words: Can I break up a long line into multiple lines in 5.01
or 5.10pre now or is that still not supported?

Thanks.

Generally speaking, breaking up the APPEND options is not (yet?) 
supported, but there are other directives that could help for certain 
situations. If you could point (link) to your current config file, 
then maybe some suggestions could be posted (specially if you have a 
specific goal or need in mind that you could share).

Ady.

Unfortunately, multiple lines are still unsupported.

Hi,

nothing special. Just thought I could break up

to become more readable.
