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

None of the above solutions worked for me, in a YAML file within a Jekyll project. After trying many options, I realized that an HTML injection with
might do as well, since in the end everything is rendered to HTML:

name: | In a village of La Mancha
whose name I don't
want to remember.

At least it works for me. No idea on the problems associated to this approach.
