→Multiple Commands Using Semicolon, Grouping, and Backquotes
Commands may also be '''split over multiple lines''', making it easier (for humans) to interpret a long command.<br>
You can add a '''quote''' or '''"escape" the newline character''' at the end of a line, to get rid of the special meaning<br>of newline (to end a command line)
<span style="font-family:courier;font-weight:bold">echo "This will be split over multiple \<br>lines. Note that the shell will realize \<br>that a pipe requires another command, so \<br>it will automatically go to the next line" |tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]'</span>
