Javascript print a variable with multilines

Question

If I have a variable named test and inside it I had html content like

var test = "<div class='testingbot'>
                <span>TITLE</span>
            <div>";

When I use the above it crashes the page, but if I do it all as one line it works

var test = "<div class='testingbot'><span>TITLE</span><div>";

How would I be able to print with line breaks?

Thanks

You could opt to use CoffeeScript, which just automatically lets you do this (among a million other awesome things) — Brad M, Mar 21 '14 at 20:22

Javascript doesn't do multi-line strings like that, you need to just concatenate them together.

var test = "<div class='testingbot'>" +
               "<span>TITLE</span>" +
           "<div>";

I've stuck `\n` at the end before the closing `"` to make my new lines – ngplayground Mar 21 '14 at 20:35
