Vladimir, I tried escaping line breaks in a config file with '\' but to no avail. Is there any way of specifying options over multiple lines? Would this be something you would consider as an enhancement to boost::program_options?

Program options library overview doc illustrates using implicit() for specifying 0 or 1 token value, but this function does not seem to be present in reference doc or source files (as of 1.33.1).
Yes, that method was removed on 2005-04-22. The motivation is that it just leads to parsing ambiguities and no good command line interface I ever seen uses optional values. - Volodya _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users
