Multi-entry answer support

[Devoid0]

Support for answers that span multiple grid entries without need for additional text in the clue

Here is the screenshot from the guardian site:

The likely implementation would be a new markdown directive "unify" (open to other suggestions) that takes one or more clue numbers to unify. So you would include :unify[3-across, 15-down] in the clue for 1-across to tell Crosshare that all three entries should be treated as a single entry. The resulting behavior is that when any one of those entries is active all three are highlighted in the active color. Also the cursor should treat all three entries as a single one (the clue with the directive is 1st, followed by the others in the order listed), so that completing one jumps to the next and backspacing one jumps to the previous. Lastly the clue number / label for the entry with the directive gets replaced with a comma separated list of all the entries (in the order listed).

Note that the actual text of the other clues (the See 6 in the guardian screenshot above) would still be left up to the constructor I think.

That all sound correct @Devoid0 ?

Yep that’s perfect
