fwiw, cannot reproduce, works on the Linux box.  as a workaround (perhaps), will
breaking the string in to "{hyphens}", "DEBUG", "{hyphens}" inside the concat
work?  (in my own macros I tend to use the brackets, eg '--[someword]--' to
surround the (key)word)

I was suggesting suppressing the render output until the other issue got
resolved  :P

I'm gonna get you a pendant that reads "Pedant".

Hi Sergey,

Excellent.   Now you can comment out the #error message and get on with what
you've been trying to do for the last several hours.

This is "fun", eh?

Thanks, this is a part of the profession )

No doubt )

Final word: number of hyphens are matter - threshold is 14:

#declare s_ = "--------------";  // This works
#declare s_ = "---------------"; // This not

HAhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!  Famous last words.  :D

I'm dying over here.

I'm getting output with:

#debug
"----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n"

But there is definitely something strange going on with the string size, the
output to the file, and possibly with concat ().

I just tested in the official Windows v3.7:
If there are several lines with 15 or more minuses, the first one is
converted to a solid horizontal line and the others are not shown.
It might be a feature - but I would consider it to be a bug.

Also, if you do not add a "\n" after the last debug line, it is
not shown.

BE's not wrong though.  the parser is full of "surprises", and I think it's
pretty cool you should have managed to run into your first, so quickly :-).

re '#debug', although you can make strings longer than 255 chars, #debug will
silently truncate lines to its "preferred" limit; I once ran into this, if in
doubt emit short(er) lines/text.
