Blank line causes parsing errors in list creation #1675
Description
Description
Blank lines in a list definition cause a syntax error.
Blank lines are sometimes useful for code formatting reasons.
Mathematica allows these blank lines.
How to Reproduce
- Create a script with the content
list = {
A,
B}
- Then invoke the script with
$mathics -script < script.math
Output Given
hrueter@pc:~/code/mathics$ mathics -script < broken_script.math

Expected behavior
