Different ways:

lorem = "
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. 
Sed vehicula tempor mauris at convallis. Maecenas feugiat libero 
et mi dignissim facilisis ut vel lacus. Sed tempus risus sit amet tellus 
facilisis fermentum. Maecenas orci massa, consectetur non mattis 
ornare.
"

or

def doStuff str
  print str.upcase
end
doStuff(<<PIECE_OF_STR)
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. 
Sed vehicula tempor mauris at convallis. Maecenas feugiat libero 
et mi dignissim facilisis ut vel lacus. Sed tempus risus sit amet tellus 
facilisis fermentum. Maecenas orci massa, consectetur non mattis
