What were you trying to do that didn't work?

Splitting a line with a 's' command that is part of a 'g' or 'v' command-list

e.g.

%g/foo/s/foo/bar
quux/n

should replace all instances of foo with bar\nquux

See upstream changelog for 1.15 (in 2019):

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-ed/2019-01/msg00010.html

{{* The list command has been fixed to print a backslash before every }}{{'$' character within the text. (Reported by Ori Avtalion). }}

{{ * Address ',,' has been fixed to mean '$,$' instead of '1,$'. }}{{(Reported by Matthieu Felix). }}

{{ * A 's' command that is part of a 'g' or 'v' command-list can again }}{{split a line by including a newline escaped with a backslash '\' in the }}{{replacement string. For this to work, the closing delimiter of the }}{{replacement string can't be omitted unless the 's' command is the last }}{{command in the list, because otherwise the meaning of the escaped }}{{newline would become ambiguous. }}

{{ * Following a recent change in the POSIX standard, the 'c' command no }}{{longer accepts an address of 0, and the documentation for the 'i' }}{{command now explains that it treats address 0 as meaning "at the }}{{beginning of the buffer", instead of as a synonym for address 1. }}

• Minor fixes have been made to the manual.

{{ * The configure script now accepts appending options to CFLAGS using }}{{the syntax 'CFLAGS+=OPTIONS'. }}

c10s will have ed 1.20 so is unaffected.
