String attribute values in multiple lines, HTML

html, split, string

Solution

Yes that's possible: https://stackoverflow.com/a/38874964/3135511 The secret is to use tab's instead of space As well as to use linebreaks

<a href="
 bla 
 bla bla 
 bla bla bla 
 bla bla 
 bla
 ">....</a>

^- try out the code and hover over the .... And look for the link - it should read just like bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla

Background:

A space in a string will be escaped to %20 and so stay in, +but white spaces as tab & line break will be discarded/filtered out.

If you want them in a string write `%09` for Tab and `%0A%0D` for some CR/LF windows line break. -> That are two bytes one Carrier Return char and some Line Feed char.

Problem

Is it possible, in HTML to write something like: ``` <a href="bla bla bla bla\ bla bla bla bla">....</a> ``` The idea is splitting a string attribute in different lines to improve readability.
