I'm currently trying to make a grimoire compiler that will compile
sections into single files so that sorcery stuff can work on them much
faster. I am, of course, trying to make it so that any valid spell can
be converted but (believe it or not) an problem popped up. It's not
really a bug right now, so I'm not sure what to do about it. It involves
SHORT descriptions being more than one line long:
SHORT="Here is a description on
two lines"
That's perfectly valid bash, it is more than a little difficult for a
simple compiler to handle.

I wrote a one liner to find all of the spells w/ this problem:

for i in /var/lib/sorcery/codex/devel/*/*/DETAILS; do (eval $(grep
"SHORT=" $i ) 2>/dev/null || echo "BAD $i") ; done
BAD /var/lib/sorcery/codex/devel/audio/alsa-driver-virmidi/DETAILS
BAD /var/lib/sorcery/codex/devel/graphics/gltt/DETAILS
BAD /var/lib/sorcery/codex/devel/kde/kdebindings/DETAILS
BAD /var/lib/sorcery/codex/devel/science/euler/DETAILS
BAD /var/lib/sorcery/codex/devel/utils/dmx4linux/DETAILS
BAD /var/lib/sorcery/codex/devel/windowmanagers/wmsensormon/DETAILS

I figure it's not currently considered a bug since it doesn't break
anything and most of the time it's unnoticable. However, this is
supposed to be a /short/ description. Should this be considered a bug
(and if yes, could the spells be fixed please)?
