new line "\n" in yaml file
ruby-on-rails, yaml
Solution
try this
test: |+
This is a long string
with new lines
| after the key helps in beginning of multiline text indented and maintain the indentation for the long string.
Problem
I'd like to do this ``` test: > This is a long string \n\n\n with new lines ``` But it prints out the "\n" instead of making new lines. I know it's possible to do ``` test: "This is a long string \n\n\n with new lines" ``` But i'd rather not add quotes everywhere if possible. Thanks for the help! EDIT: I'd rather not use empty lines. In other words, i'd like to use \n to show empty lines to make my yml file more readable.
