880+ ### Indented strings
881+
882+ Also known as “multi-line strings”.
883+
884+ The Nix language offers convenience syntax for character strings which span multiple lines that have common indentation.
885+
886+ Indented strings are denoted by * double single quotes* (` '' '' ` ).
887+
888+ Example:
889+
890+ ``` {code-block} nix
891+ :class: expression
892+ ''
893+ multi
894+ line
895+ string
896+ ''
897+ ```
898+
899+ ``` {code-block}
900+ :class: value
901+ "multi\nline\nstring\n"
902+ ```
903+
904+ Equal amounts of prepended white space are trimmed from the result.
905+
906+ Example:
907+
908+ ``` {code-block} nix
909+ :class: expression
910+ ''
911+ one
912+ two
913+ three
914+ ''
915+ ```
916+
917+ ``` {code-block}
918+ :class: value
919+ "one\n two\n three\n"
920+ ```
921+
922+ :::{note}
923+ Indented strings also support [ string interpolation] ( string-interpolation ) .
924+ For details check the [ documentation on string literals in the Nix language] ( https://nix.dev/manual/nix/2.24/language/syntax#string-literal ) .
