This somehow mimics the behaviour of the client tool, but works for *any* input line that is sent to the application. This reverts the unfortunate take abusing the client's special notation '>>> '. Currently implemented: - :eval: - :neol: - :sleep: --- diff --git a/test/README b/test/README index a399765e2..c0f548292 100644 --- a/test/README +++ b/test/README @@ -862,15 +862,21 @@ The remaining commands are followed by data lines for their standard input, terminated by four asterisks ("****").
