When I typed multiline in coffeescript interactive mode, an error occrured.
For example, I want to try the following code:
kids =
brother:
name: "Max"
age: 11
sister:
name: "Ida"
age: 9
This Error was displayed:
coffee> kids =

I tried to use '\' as a newline,but the same error was displayed.
coffee> kids = \

I can't use multiline, so I can't use indentation.
What should I do?
My environment is the following:
OS: Ubuntu 10.04 lucid
coffeescript version 1.0.0 I installed coffeescript with PPA and apt-get command.
see this url: https://launchpad.net/~gezakovacs/+archive/coffeescript
npm install -g [email protected]. That way, you can easily install any version of CoffeeScript that you want and update to new versions as soon as they're available. - Trevor Burnham
