With template literals, you can use multiple spaces or multi-line strings and string interpolation. Template Literals are a new ES2015 / ES6 feature that allows you to work with strings. The syntax is very simple, just use backticks instead of single or double quotes:

let a = `something                 something`;

and to make multiline strings just press enter to create a new line, with no special characters:

let a = `something 

    
                         something`;

The results are exactly the same as you write in the string.
