title: Multi-line string with extra space (preserved indentation)
body: <p>I want to write some pre-defined texts to a file with the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>text="this is line one\n
  this is line two\n
  this is line three"
  
  echo -e $text &gt; filename
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm expecting something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>this is line one
  this is line two
  this is line three
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But got this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>this is line one
   this is line two
   this is line three
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm positive that there is no space after each <code>\n</code>, but how does the extra space come out?</p>
