jQuery new line \n

Question

What's the cleanest way to write a multiline string in JavaScript?

How does one go onto a new line in writing jQuery code not the actual output of the code, for example:

$('#foo').append('<div id="bla"> '+\n+'
                  </div>');

Something like that.

I don't think this is a duplicate per se, this asks about the output including the newline character specifically whereas the proposed duplicate asks about multiline strings. Two different questions with the same answer is all. — Greg Flynn, Jun 07 '11 at 01:29

$('#foo').append('<div id="bla"> \
                 </div>');

The slash (\) escapes the newline, allowing the string to span multiple lines
