in the code.'

Example 3: Create Multiline Strings Using Template Literal

// program to create a multiline strings

// using the template literal

const message = `This is a long message
that spans across multiple lines
in the code.`

console.log(message);

The template literal was introduced in the newer version of JavaScript (ES6).

Some browsers may not support the use of template literals. To learn more, visit JavaScript Template Literal Support.
