perhaps like this

define hostgroup{
        hostgroup_name          Canberra Data
        alias                   Canberra LAN
        contact_groups          network-admins
        members

        }

The only limits are the length of the hostgroup buffers defined in the 
headers (search the arhives on gmane for discussion about extending 
those limits). 

It is only shells that interpret "\n" specially. To a C program like 
Nag, "\n" is only another character from 'type char'. Nag interprets it 
as white space.

Yours sincerely.

'...No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the
continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a
manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes
me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know
for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...'
