You more often have this confusion in explicit verbs with NBs
like this in J
verb=. verb define
l o n g line 1 NB. description bla bla bla
l o n g line 2 NB. description bla bla bla bla
bla
l o n g line 3 NB. description bla bla bla bla bla bla
)
wrap in e-mail
verb=. verb define
l o n g line 1 NB. description
bla bla bla
l o n g line 2 N
B. description bla bla bla bla bla
l o n g line 3 NB. descrip
tion bla bla bla bla bla bla
)
And can then not be copied easily from the e-mail to J
