 Replying to [comment:15 jhpalmieri]:
 > Are multiline strings not a good idea for "echo"?  If this sort of thing
 is okay, it makes it much easier to edit the message.

 `echo` has no problem with that, nor any ''reasonable'' shell.  For larger
 texts, you might get problems with the size of the environment on some
 systems though.  Note that
 {{{
 #!sh
 $ echo "
 one line
 "
 }}}
 outputs ''three'' lines, the first and last being empty.

 I'd prefer `cat` and "here" documents though (if at all).  If you want to
 focus on the code rather than the text, it's better to use a chain of
 (properly indented) `echo` commands.

 `bash` also supports indentation of "here" documents (that doesn't appear
 in the output);
 {{{
 #!sh
 $ cat <<-EOF
 ...
 EOF
 }}}
 strips leading tabs from the text.
