blank lines in config

[Frank Liu]

Should nginx ignore those blank lines (lines with spaces only) in config?

I tried below in the config of nginx 1.14.0:

server {
...

    set $testvar1 "testval1";
... 300 blank lines, each with 20 spaces ...
    set $testvar2 "testval2";

...
}

nginx configtest says:
nginx: [emerg] too long parameter "
..." started in


Thanks!
Frank
