Multi line conditional operator in string interpolation in C# fails

Question

var condition = false;
Foo($"String is {(condition ? "True" : "False")} works");

but

Foo($"String is {(condition ? "True" 
                            : "False")} fails");

I got compile error when I nicely format the conditional operator within my string interpolated statement?

use verbatim strings.... Foo($@"String is {(condition ? "True" : "False")}fails"); — Ansil F, Aug 01 '17 at 09:15
Thanks for the reply but I read about the 'solution' by using $@ instead which is weird because the conditional-operator is already needs to be separated by parenthesis and therefor its contents should not be interpreted as format specifiers anymore; using $@ makes also impossible to use format literals like \t ... — Leo Rozing, Aug 01 '17 at 09:27

Use @

Foo($@"String is {(condition ? "True" 
                            : "False")} fails");

But how can I use string literals like \t then? – Leo Rozing Aug 01 '17 at 09:30
You can't. You have to choose one `\t` or `@` – Roman Marusyk Aug 01 '17 at 09:37
