Multi Line Strings

Multi-line strings

Literal Block

This preserves the \n character at the end of each line, such as in a list of executed CLI commands

script: |
    echo "hello world" > file.txt
    cat file.txt
    sed s/hello/Hello/g file.txt > file2.txt
    mv file2.txt file.txt

Folded Block Approach

This treats the text as a single run on sentance with no new lines akin to:

script: Hello there This is some text but will be on the same line as the previous text

script: >
    Hello there
    This is some text
    but will be on the same line as the previous text
