Hello. I'm trying to send output via debug and hipchat which I want to 
appear as multiple lines. But I'm failing. Can anyone advise? In my test 
below, I of course want the output to show up like this:

    i am a runon sentence
    i go on and on


Here is my test play and the results. I'm using ansible 1.8.2.

$ cat q.yml 
---
- hosts: 127.0.0.1
  connection: local
  gather_facts: False
  tasks:
- include: "{{ playbook_dir }}/dev/debug_msg.yml"

$ cat dev/debug_msg.yml 
---
- hosts: 127.0.0.1
  connection: local
  gather_facts: False
  vars:
     my_msg: |
       "A - i am a runon sentence
       i go on and on and on"

  tasks:
  - debug: msg={{my_msg}}
  - debug: msg="B - i am a runon sentence \n i go on and on and on"

  - name: Testify to hipchat
    hipchat: token={{ hipchat_token }} from={{ hipchat_user }} room={{ 
priv_hipchat_room }} msg="C - i am a runon sentence \n i go on and on and 
on"

  - name: Testify to hipchat again
    hipchat: token={{ hipchat_token }} from={{ hipchat_user }} room={{ 
priv_hipchat_room }} msg={{ my_msg }}


$ ansible-playbook -i inventor.ini q.yml



result

TASK: [debug msg={{my_msg}}]
