How do I break a string over multiple lines?

Question

In YAML, I have a string that\'s very long. I want to keep this within the 80-column (or so) view of my editor, so I\'d like to break the string. What\'s the syntax for this

Answer 1

To concatenate long lines without whitespace, use double quotes and escape the newlines with backslashes:

key: "Loremipsumdolorsitamet,consecteturadipiscingelit,seddoeiusmodtemp\
  orincididuntutlaboreetdoloremagnaaliqua."
