<p>I'm a php developer very new to js. In php I use heredoc a lot for multi-line variable values or print statements. In js, is there any way to easily write these without having to resort to messy code like this:</p>

<pre><code>var animals = 'dog'+
              'cat'+
              'bird'+
etc...
</code></pre>
