title: Indenting in a Bash script printf command without the indent coming out in the output
body: <p>I want to indent in my bash script so that my script looks more organized, but don't want the spaces to print.</p>
  
  <p>If I have the command</p>
  
  <pre><code>printf "&lt;image&gt;
          &lt;&lt;include etc/image.conf&gt;&gt;
          &lt;/image&gt;" &gt; file.txt
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want file.txt to look like</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;image&gt;
  &lt;&lt;include etc/image.conf&gt;&gt;
  &lt;/image&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>instead of</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;image&gt;
          &lt;&lt;include etc/image.conf&gt;&gt;
          &lt;/image&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem is that I don't want my script to look like this</p>
  
  <pre><code>While Loop
        If Statement
                  printf "&lt;image&gt;
  &lt;&lt;include etc/image.conf&gt;&gt;
  &lt;/image&gt;" &gt; file.txt
                  Command Here
        End If
  End While
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I just want it to look a little bit neater</p>
