Hallo,

I am a new Org-Babel convert (thanks, Nicolas!) and our first project replaces a MACRO (raw HTML template) with 12+ arguments and is a major improvement as we can now use named arguments.

This short example works:

#+call: mhead-hcard(cname="Dr. Stefan Vollmar",gname="Stefan",prefix="Dr.",web="stefan-vollmar.html",photo="stefan-vollmar.jpg") :results html

However, this only uses only four of 12+ arguments and - from my point of view - already suffers from being written in one line.

We have listed some of our attempts to increase readability (none of them works with release_8.0-pre-193-gaa7b1e).

(1) "natural" multi-line

#+call: mhead-hcard(
cname="Dr. Stefan Vollmar",   # full name for title
gname="Stefan",               # given name 
photo="stefan-vollmar.jpg",   # can be jpg or png
...)

(2) Attempt in keeping with a multi-line #+header construct

#+call: mhead-hcard(
#+call:  cname="Dr. Stefan Vollmar",   # full name for headline
#+call:  gname="Stefan",               # given name 
#+call:  photo="stefan-vollmar.jpg",   # can be jpg or png
...

(3) Using a "line continuation marker"

#+call: mhead-hcard(
 cname="Dr. Stefan Vollmar",\
 gname="Stefan",\
 photo="stefan-vollmar.jpg",\
...)

Maybe even with optional comments:

#+call: mhead-hcard(
 cname="Dr. Stefan Vollmar",\  # full name for headline
 gname="Stefan",\              # given name 
 photo="stefan-vollmar.jpg",\  # can be jpg or png
...)

Maybe there already is a good solution to increase readability? Maybe the "line continuation marker" (3) would be a general solution for all cases in org where now no line breaks are possible?

Many thanks for any help with this.
Warm regards,
 Stefan
