Javascript did not always support multi-line strings. If you attempted to create a string variable using quotes, putting a line break into the source code would result in a syntax error. Recent updates to the language have added support for multi-line strings in Javascript. This is massively useful when you are using JS to create HTML elements or to add visual elements to a page and want to improve the readability of the code for future maintenance. If you have a block of text that you want to assign to a multi-line string, paste the value into the box below. Once you submit, it will give you the variable that you can use in your code.
const myString = ``;
How To Create a Multi-Line String in Javascript
If you want to make a multi-line string, all you need to do is wrap the string using tick quotes instead of the more common single or double-quotes. The best way to see it in action is to use the tool above. This will give you a line of code that you can copy and paste into your application.
On a qwerty keyboard, you will find the tick character ( ` ) to the left of the number 1 key and below the escape key. There will be variations depending on the keyboard manufacturer, but generally, this is where you are more than likely going to find this character.
