Re: SMIE examples or guides

[Björn Lindqvist]

I got it to work almost by experimenting with your suggestions. But it
appears to do some kind of automatic aligning I don't want:

HELLO   one
        two
        three
    BYE

That should instead have been:

HELLO   one
    two
    three
    BYE

My language is not newline-significant.
