### 1. What are multiline strings?

When working with long strings, it is most convenient to use so-called [multiline strings](https://kotlinlang.org/docs/coding-conventions.html#strings).

Unlike regular strings, they are enclosed in triple quotes:

### 2. The `trimIndent` and `trimMargin` functions

For convenient work with such strings, there are two functions: [`trimIndent`](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin.text/trim-indent.html) and [`trimMargin`](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin.text/trim-margin.html).
`trimIndent` detects the common minimal indent of all the input lines,
removes it from every line, and also removes the first and the last lines

`trimIndent` detects the smallest common indentation of all the input lines,
removes it from every line, and also discards the first and the last lines
if they are blank.
`trimMargin` trims leading whitespace characters
followed by `marginPrefix` from every line of a source string and removes

In the first case, the string will have extra indents and margins.
Also, each line in the string has the `*` symbol.
In the second case, the string looks better, but it still has an extra symbol in each line.
The last case looks as the best option.

Therefore, when working with multiline strings, such functions are a great help.
