I have come back to this excellent StackOverflow question so many times over the years:

"How do I break a string in YAML over multiple lines?"

stackoverflow.com/questions/37…

The best answer has these highlights:

There are ~5~ ~6~ *NINE* (or 63*, depending how you count) different ways to write multi-line strings in YAML.

YAML is crazy.

And the funniest thing is I've usually ended up using the 64th option: A bash here-document with escaped newlines.

#yaml #bash
