Is there a way to represent a long string that doesnt have any whitespace on multiple lines in a YAML document?

Question

Say I have the following string:

"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"

And I think its too long for one line in my YAML file, is there some way to split that over several lines?

>-
    abcdefghi
    jklmnopqr
    stuvwxyz

Would result in "abcdefghi jklmnopqr stuvwxyz" which is close, but it shouldn't have any spaces.

Answer 1

Use double-quotes, and escape the newline:

"abcdefghi
jklmnopqr
stuvwxyz"
