Description

Feedback: Please provide example of a lengthy query which spans multiple lines. How to split the query into multiple line?  Thanks

Research direction

Open the InfluxQL specification page at https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1.8/query_language/spec/ and review how query examples are formatted. Confirm whether InfluxQL supports queries spanning multiple lines, then document the answer with a lengthy multi-line example or an explicit limitation; the page should directly address the user's feedback.
