Nevermind  the answer is raw triple-quoted strings   r   what ever

User · Answer

Since I stumbled on this answer  and it greatly helped me  but I found a minor syntactic issue  I felt I should save others possible frustration  The triple quoted string works for this scenario as described  but note that if the   you want in the string occurs at the end of the string itself   somestr      This is a string with a special need to have a   in it at the end       You will hit an error at execution because the       4  quotes in a row confuses the string reader  as it thinks it has hit the end of the string already and then finds a random   out there  You can validate this by inserting a space into the 4 quotes like so        and it will not have the error   In this special case you will need to either use   somestr    This     at the end     or use the method described above of building multiple strings with mixed   and   and then concatenating them after the fact
