In Ansible, a multi-line string can be defined using the pipe (|) character followed by a newline character. This allows for easy formatting and readability of long strings.

For example, to define a multi-line string in an Ansible playbook, you can use the following syntax:

- name: Example playbook
  vars:
    my_string: |
      This is a multi-line string.
      It contains several lines of text.
      Each line is separated by a newline character.

  tasks:
    - name: Debug my string
      debug:
        var: my_string

In the above example, the my_string variable is defined as a multi-line string using the pipe character followed by newlines to separate each line. This string can then be used in subsequent tasks in the playbook.
