Paul King commented on GROOVY-7766:
-----------------------------------

For all multi-line strings in Groovy, a slash on the end of a line is the escape to join the next line as a continuation of the current line.
See the last example in the following part of the documentation:
http://groovy-lang.org/syntax.html#_triple_single_quoted_string
