String literals can span multiple lines. One way is using triple-quotes:
``"""..."""`` or ``'''...'''``. End of lines are automatically
included in the string, but it's possible to prevent this by adding a ``\`` at
the end of the line. The following example::

print("""\
the end of the line. In the following example, the initial newline is not
included::

>>> print("""\
... Usage: thingy [OPTIONS]
... -h Display this usage message
... -H hostname Hostname to connect to
... """)
Usage: thingy [OPTIONS]
-h Display this usage message
-H hostname Hostname to connect to
""")

produces the following output (note that the initial newline is not included):

.. code-block:: text
Usage: thingy [OPTIONS]
-h Display this usage message
-H hostname Hostname to connect to
>>>

Strings can be concatenated (glued together) with the ``+`` operator, and
repeated with ``*``::
