Previously, it would always consider multiline +strings as not fitting on a single line. With this new feature, _Black_ looks at the +context around the multiline string to decide if it should be inlined or split to a +separate line. For example, when a multiline string is passed to a function, _Black_ +will only split the multiline string if a line is too long or if multiple arguments are +being passed. + +For example, _Black_ will reformat + +```python +textwrap.dedent( + """\ + This is a + multiline string +""" +) +``` + +to: + +```python +textwrap.dedent("""\ + This is a + multiline string +""") +``` + +And: + +```python +MULTILINE = """ +foobar +""".replace( + "\n", "" +) +``` + +to: + +```python +MULTILINE = """ +foobar +""".replace("\n", "") +```
