Javascript heredoc

Question

I need something like heredoc in JavaScript. Do you have any ideas for this? I need cross-browser functionality.

I found this:

heredoc = \'\\


        
      

Answer 1

Depending on what flavour of JS/JS engine you're running (SpiderMonkey, AS3) you can simply write inline XML, into which you can place text on multiple lines, like heredoc:

var xml = 
    Here 
    is 
    some 
    multiline 
    text!


console.log(xml.toXMLString())
console.log(xml.toString()) // just gets the content
