Is there an alternative to template literals in Internet Explorer?

I have a bunch of strings which consist of code concatenated that I need to put in a single JavaScript variable.

`template literals` was clearly the way to go, and it worked fine. But IE doesn't support it.

Is there any way to avoid using `template literals` and still get a multiline string?

Yes, use a real browser... – Alnitak Mar 02 '17 at 13:07
Lol I do, the people who use the website don't.. If it depended on me, I would just put a popup saying not to use it but well. How does transpiling works? – Matias Rozenblum Mar 02 '17 at 13:09
Check [the MDN page on template literals](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Template_literals#Multi-line_strings). It shows the similarity between `"abc\ndef"` and ` `abc [line break] def` ` – Matheus Avellar Mar 02 '17 at 14:51
Strings of code? Uh oh – Bergi Mar 02 '17 at 16:17
