# multiline-string

Remove leading space characters to let you nicely indent your multiline strings in your code.

## Prerequisite

* Node v4+

## Usage

By default, `multiline` detects indentation by looking at the first non-empty line.

Notice that the first empty line is dropped from the output to let you to start

the first line with the indentation level you like.

```js

const multiline = require('multiline-string')()

const s = multiline(`

            1. xxx

              a. yyy

            2. zzz

            `)

console.log(s)

// => "1. xxx\n  a. yyy\n2. zzz"

```

If you want to start your string with an empty line, you can do:

```js

const s = multiline(`

            Line 1

            Line 2

            `)

// => "\nLine 1\nLine 2\n"

```

You can also give `marginMark` to identify the start of each line

to include indentation in the resulting text.

```js

const multiline = require('multiline-string')({ marginMark: '|' })

const s = multiline(`

            |  Usage: my-command file

            |

            |    -v, --version    Show version

            |    -h, --help       Show help information

            |`)

console.log(s)

// => "  Usage: ...\n\n    -v, --version ..."

```
