Description Thomas Braun 2009-07-03 22:18:05 UTC

Version:           2.0.4svn (using 3.5.10, Debian Package 4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-0lenny1 (lenny/sid))
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.26-2-686

Currently abbreviations must be only one line long.
So stuff like
text1
text2
does not work.

This is currently needed due to the way they are stored in a cwl like file.

An easy solution would be to replace character combinations like \n with the char '\n' and then insert it.
