Does this plugin support multiline column? about sublime_rainbow_csv

[mechatroner]

Multiline field support was added in version 2.3.0.
To enable multiline fields you need to set "allow_newlines_in_fields": true in the config.
If everything goes well I will think about enabling this by default in future releases.
@o3661606, please let me know if something is not working as you expected.

Multiline fields are currently not supported. I will need to investigate if Sublime syntax engine allows to support them, and if it does, this feature can be added. I will post an update.

Hello,

This feature didn't seem to work for me at first, so I went digging around and found this commit (5722aee - support quoted_rfc switch), which showed me that the line break handling is only enabled when the separator in use is ; or , (I was using the pipe character |). Is there any reason why this restriction is applied for this feature to be enabled?

At first I thought that the feature was sticking strictly to the CSV definition in RFC-4180, but that officially defines only , as a separator, so this already doesn't seem to be the case.

@122800, it is not supported because I was thinking that there is no practical need for this. But your request shows that I was wrong and I just opened a new issue #35. It should be relatively easy to do, just delete the check here:

sublime_rainbow_csv/main.py

Line 464 in e2fa752

if policy in ['quoted', 'quoted_rfc'] and selection_text not in [';', ',']:

and test that everything works as expected, the syntax generation logic should already support arbitrary separators.

Thanks for the tip, @mechatroner!
I can't guarantee that I'll have the time anytime soon to try this out, but if I get the chance I'll definitely let you know :)
