So I was wondering if it was possible to have the program write each line of say, a story on a different line, without you having to type each of the sentences in a separate print function. It's silly but also a serious question.

What is each sentence of a text? How are they determined? – martineau Jul 27 '21 at 00:08

they would be determined by a period. – Gamer Crafter Jul 27 '21 at 00:09

1Use something like `for sentence in text.split('.'): print(sentence+'.')` – martineau Jul 27 '21 at 00:12

Try this:
s = 'this is. the text. that you. want to separate'.replace('.','\n')
print(s)

Yes! To print text spanning different lines just enclose the text within three single quotation marks.
print('''line 1
line 2
line 3''')
sample_text = '''This is a text.
It spans across multiple lines.
I can put this within triple quotes'''
OR
sample_text = "This is a text.\n It spans across multiple lines.\nI can use escape sequences."
Both of the above will give the same output.

What? What do you mean? I don't see how your answer answers the question. You propose to manually write the whole string. IU doubt that what the question is asking for. Assuming you have a string as `"hello. this is. a text."` every sentence (separated by a period) should be printed on a separate line... – Tomerikoo Jun 29 '22 at 08:49
