I am not sure if this is what you are looking for, but Python has a special string with 3 quotes that I believe duplicates part of the functionality of a here document: myHmtlHeader = """ <head attribute = "abc"> <title>My Page</title> </head> """ print myHtmlHeader outputs: <head attribute="abc"> <title>My Page</title> </head> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
