IPython line magic can be split across lines

[jamesmyatt]

IPython line magic can be split across lines (ipython/ipython#2164).

So the following should be handled correctly.

%load_ext watermark
%watermark -u -n -t -z \
    -p jupytext -v

and should print something like:

CPython 3.7.3
IPython 7.4.0

jupytext 1.0.5

However, the percent representation is

# %load_ext watermark
# %watermark -u -n -t -z \
-p jupytext -v

which is invalid. (I haven't actually checked, TBH)

Thanks James for reporting this... Good parsing exercise, isn't it? I'll have a look.

[jamesmyatt]

No problem. I'm not actually using it and I don't think it's common, so it's not high priority, but certainly something for the backlog.

Hello James, this is coming with version 1.1.0. A release candidate that includes the fix is available with

pip install jupytext==1.1.0rc0

[jamesmyatt]

Thanks. I'm very impressed with your ability to turn these requests round.

You're welcome James - Thanks for the compliment!
