How to convert CSV to multi-line comments?

[sorsasampo]

In my CSV use case there is a lot of auxiliary data that I want to add as tags. However, I would like to print one line per tag, instead of one really long line.

Instead of:

2019/03/21 PAYEE    ; tag1:value1, tag2:reallylongvalue2, tag3:value3, ...

I would like to have:

2019/03/21 PAYEE
    ; tag1: value1
    ; tag2: reallylongvalue2
    ; tag3: value3
    ...

Is there currently any way to have multi-line comments?

On linux/macos you can put a different separator there and pass it though sed, something like sed -e 's/#/\n ; /g' (with # as the separator)
