Title: "then" allowed in multiline if statements
Post by: FutureCow on 2009-Mar-05
Is it possible to allow "then" to be allowed in multiline if commands?

I have a tendancy to write
if [blah] then
   do this
else
   do that
end if

It would make my life easier if that was accepted by the compiler, or at least automatically removed if you typed "if (blah) then [enter key]"

Not a big issue and there's probably a lot more exciting things on the priority list, but if it's a quick-fix then I'd find it helpful.

no. THEN says: there must be ONE command following, that will be executed if the condition is true.

I won't change the language because of anyone's tendency, sorry.

IF a THEN b
IF a; ...; ELSE; ... ; ENDIF

Fair enough, what about automatically removing the "then" if you press enter after it instead?
As I said, it doesn't overly worry me, it would just make things easier if it's not difficult to implement. If it is, then don't worry about it!  =D
