今天的优雅回答:

<<~TEXT
Hi #{user.name}, 

Thanks for raising the flag, we're always happy to help you.
Your issue will be resolved within 2 hours.
Please be patient!

Thanks again,
Team #{user.organization.name}
TEXT

<<-TEXT和<<~TEXT有区别，前者保留了块内的空格，后者则没有。

还有其他的选择。 比如串联等等，但这个更有意义。

如果我错了，请告诉我…

conn.exec 'select attr1, attr2, attr3, attr4, attr5, attr6, attr7 ' <<
        'from table1, table2, table3, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, ' <<
        'where etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc'

<<是字符串的连接操作符

你也可以使用双引号

x = """
this is 
a multiline
string
"""

2.3.3 :012 > x
 => "\nthis is\na multiline\nstring\n"

如果需要删除换行符“\n”，请在每行末尾使用反斜杠“\”

其他选项:

#multi line string
multiline_string = <<EOM
This is a very long string
that contains interpolation
like #{4 + 5} \n\n
EOM

puts multiline_string

#another option for multiline string
message = <<-EOF
asdfasdfsador #{2+2} this month.
asdfadsfasdfadsfad.
EOF

puts message

conn.exec = <<eos
  select attr1, attr2, attr3, attr4, attr5, attr6, attr7
  from table1, table2, table3, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc,
  where etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc
eos

在ruby 2.0中，你现在可以只使用%

例如:

    SQL = %{
      SELECT user, name
      FROM users
      WHERE users.id = #{var}
      LIMIT #{var2}
    }
