Where is Ruby's string literal juxtaposition feature officially documented?

Question

I recently realized that if you juxtapose a sequence of Ruby string literals (e.g. \'a\' \"b\" \'c\'), it\'s equivalent to the concatenation of those string lit

Answer 1

If you want o break a long single-quoted String-literal across multiple lines without embedding new line in it.

Simply break it into multiple adjacent string literals, the ruby interpreter will concatenate them during the parsing process.

str = "hello" "all"

puts str #=> helloall

remember though, that you must escape the newlines between the literals so that ruby does not interpret the new line as a statement terminator.

str = "hello" \
      " all" \
      " how are you."

puts str #=> hello all how are you
