WHEN a new line is inside the backticks ` THEN the string can span across many lines

var normalString = ` line1 line2 line3 `; assert.equal(normalString, '\nline1\nline2\nline3\n');

GIVEN expressions inside of a template string

WHEN a simple variable is on the third line THEN it is also evaluated

var x = 42; var multiline = `line 1 $ {x}`; assert.equal(multiline, 'line 1\n\n 42');

var x = 42; var multiline = ``; assert.equal(multiline, '\n\n42');
