Hi all,

I'm trying to use scribble as a text preprocessor, and I need fine control
over where my newlines are produced.

If (e.g.) I define a new constant in the document:

-------------------
blah blah blah
@(define f "woo")
@f @f @f
-------------------

I end up with a blank line (i.e. the newline from the end of the define
line is transcribed:

-------------------
blah blah blah

woo woo woo
-------------------

The "m4" macro package has a command "dnl" which suppresses the newline
at the end of a line that was written for the macro package's benefit.

Is there something similar in scribble?

I don't really want to be doing things like:
-------------------
blah blah blah
@(define f "woo"
)@f @f @f
-------------------
