# string-no-newline Disallow (unescaped) newlines in strings. ```css a { content: "first second"; ↑ } ↑ /** ↑ * The newline here */ ``` [The spec](https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/syndata.html#strings) says this: "A string cannot directly contain a newline. To include a newline in a string, use an escape representing the line feed character in ISO-10646 (U+000A), such as \"\A\" or \"\00000a\"." And also: "It is possible to break strings over several lines, for aesthetic or other reasons, but in such a case the newline itself has to be escaped with a backslash (\)." ## Options ### `true` The following patterns are considered warnings: ```css a { content: "first second"; } ``` ```css [title="something is probably wrong"] {} ``` ```css a { font-family: "Times New Roman"; } ``` The following patterns are *not* considered warnings: ```css a { content: "first\Asecond"; } ``` ```css a { content: "first\\nsecond"; } ``` ```css [title="nothing\ is wrong"] {} ``` ```css a { font-family: "Times New Roman"; } ```
