Macro Syntax Multiline
----------------------


Macros can contain line breaks. The Admin Portal provides a multiline input box
for macros. For example:

* If a macro that returns a string has string prefix or suffix, 
  for example, a macro with the value:

  ::

     "AAA
     {{data.Countries.iso_country_code | country_name:'South Africa'}}
     AAA"


  will output:

  ::

     AAA
     ZAF
     AAA


A JSON export of the macro will show the line breaks, for example:

::

   "data": {
     "macro": "AAA\n{{data.Countries.iso_country_code | country_name:'South Africa'}}\nAAA",
     "name": "MACRO1"
   }


* If the macro is an Expect script:

  ::

     expect "HQ>\r" 
     send "enable\r" 
     expect "Password:\r" 
     send  "{{device_details.enable_password}}\r"
     


Line breaks cannot be entered inside a macro, for example:


  ::

     "AAA
     {{data.Countries.iso_country_code | 
     country_name:'South Africa'}}
     AAA"

is not valid.
