How do you put multiple line strings in a table, like


table = {
["string1"] = "This is a multiple line string"
					 "Or atleast tried to be" }
print(table["string1"])

I need it for a data system im making btw

You can use block quotes or the newline character to create multi-line strings.

I think


local table = {
[[
Hello
This
is
a
string
]]
print(table[1])

But I could be wrong.
