Python supports different types and format strings. In this tutorial, we will simply look at multi-line strings. We have the following code and want to type it in a single expression in multiline. As a practical programming language Python provides different ways to create multi-line strings.
Joining Line By Line
The most basic and simplest form is adding string lines step by step like below. We will use . in order to add strings together which will create a multi-line string which is stored in a variable named $html in this example.
html="<html><body>";
html.="</body></html>
echo $htmlDouble Quote
We can use a double quote by wrapping multiple lines. This will legal for python programming. And we can end the string whenever we want like below.
html="<html><body>
</body></html>"3 Single Quote
By default, a single quote is used to express single-line strings. But 3 single quotes can be used to express multiline strings in Python programming language.
html='''<html><body><br>
</body></html>'''
Single Line
Basic for is a single-line string. We can use single line Python strings like below where a double quote with a single line stored in a variable that is HTML in this example. We will use \n which means a new line.
html="<html><body>\n<br></body></html>"EOF
EOF is a special keyword used to specify multi-line strings. The start of the multi-line string is marked with <<< EOF and then the string will be given. We also need to specify the end of the string with EOF too like below.
html= <<< EOF
<html><body>
</body></html>
