Multiline Commands
==================
Command input may span multiple lines for the
commands whose names are listed in the
``multiline_commands`` argument to ``cmd2.Cmd.__init__()``. These
commands will be executed only
after the user has entered a *terminator*.
By default, the command terminator is
``;``; specifying the ``terminators`` optional argument to ``cmd2.Cmd.__init__()`` allows different
terminators. A blank line
is *always* considered a command terminator
(cannot be overridden).
In multiline commands, output redirection characters
like ``>`` and ``|`` are part of the command
arguments unless they appear after the terminator.
