I'm trying to append a string to a HTML element. It works fine when it's a one line string, but when I try to break it apart it stops working. 

```
  <div><h4 >List to do:</h4><span id="added"></span></div>

```

This doesn't work:

```
  var addtext = "<ol>
                 <li>Item1</li>
                 <li>Item2</li>
                 </ol>"

                 $("span#added").html(addtext);

```

Can anyone help to make it work. I want to add a lot of HTML code, and I'd like it to be readable?
