More fun with bash, strings with multiple lines

[csdude55]

I'm running cURL in bash, and in that cURL is a string. So it looks like this:

waf[exploitA]=$(curl https://foo.com \
 --data '{
  "description": "Blah",
  "expression": "Lorem ipsum"
 }'

The cURL will print "Lorem ipsum" verbatim.

The question is, what's the best option if I wanted it to print it on two lines? Eg,

Lorem
Ipsum

Can I just do this in bash, with the `accent` or whatever it's called?

"expression": `Lorem
ipsum`

Or do I have to make it the harder-to-read:

"expression": "Lorem\nipsum"

Or something else?

For future readers, I've tried every option I could think of and the hard-to-read "Lorem\nipsum" is the only solution that seems to have worked :-/ I'd love to hear it if anyone comes up with a better alternative, though! Since I'm using Cloudflare, using bash for their API is becoming a new way of life for me.
