# Block String

Add support of indentation string block to allow use a large block of strings into

the code without troubles with indentation.

Example:

```

  let markdownString = @ 

    There is a __string__ with several paragraphs

    Without quote escaping and so

  let ymlString = @

    base: element

    items:

      - item 1

      - item 2

  

  let htmlString = @

    
Good news everyone!

  console.log(htmlString); // => "
Good news everyone!
"

  

  let page = 'Main';

  let jadeTemplate = jade(@@ // with js placeholders

    html

      head

        title ${page}

      body

        h1 Page

        p Hi block text

  );

```


This allow to avoid mess of quotation escaping and indentation for multiline strings.

So it allow to insert any other text inside js. Even js itself. Such string should get the first line

indentation and cut it from start of each following line.
