One of the byproducts of the many different implementations are the many undocumented features. Among these is the very convenient, especially for fixture data, multi-line string. Here’s how you do it:

  var s= "\
          some text \
          some more lines\
          want line breaks? \n\
          javascript is cool\
  ";

Basically the last character of every line must be a \.
