Very similar to Python.

let
text = "hello world"

path = r"C:\Program files\Notepad++"

html = """
<title>Nim</title>
<h1>hello</h1>
"""

echo text
echo ""
echo path
echo ""
echo "'" & html & "'"

Output:

hello world

C:\Program files\Notepad++

'<title>Nim</title>
<h1>hello</h1>
'

Notice that the multiline string behaves a bit differently from Python. The leading newline character is not present.

This is actually intentional Nim behavior — Nim's triple-quoted strings strip the first newline if it immediately follows the opening """.

Strip

If you don't need the leading and trailing whitespaces, just strip it:

import std/strutils # strip, split, join

let
html = """
<title>Nim</title>
<h1>hello</h1>
""".strip

echo "'" & html & "'"

'<title>Nim</title>
<h1>hello</h1>'
