Multi-line strings

• 
  

  core_js = <<-eos
    LOREM LOREM LOREM LOREM
    LOREM LOREM LOREM
  eos
  puts core_js

• Result/Output
  
  LOREM LOREM LOREM LOREM LOREM LOREM LOREM
• Explanation
  I find myself looking this one up a lot. The above will store a multi-line string in the core_js variable. You can also evaluate variables inside the string just as you would within a normal string.
  
  For example:
  

  core_js = <<-eos
    LOREM #{myvar} LOREM LOREM
    LOREM LOREM LOREM
  eos
  

  
  
  ...will evaluate myvar normally.
  
  The "-" before "eos" allows you to indent the ending "eos" in your code.
