1 not a multiline string

2 first multiline string

3 second multiline string with more lines

4 several lines .. next line is empty: next has only a space: next line has 3 spaces:   END

5 it is fine to spit words, or really chop them up!

6 start with backslash , fine with me but why?

7 have a trailing space after backslash \ 

8 not part of the string no. 7

# keep this one last
99 will not get to this line 'cause input file line has no newline
