The syntax rules in Emacs Lisp allow to quote a linebreak so that it doesn't get part of the string, and that allows to write strings like this: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (message "\ A string consisting of multiple lines.") #+end_src When I want to use a string literal I prefer that. All string lines are indended equally, and Emacs-Lisp mode knows how to handle that, i.e. indentation commands won't mess it up. And you don't get overlong lines with this method. Michael.
