ES2015 multiline and template strings
The previous example showed two of the new features introduced with ES2015, multiline and template strings. The feature is meant to simplify our life while creating text strings.
The existing string representations use single quotes and double quotes. Template strings are delimited with the backtick character that's also known as the grave accent:

"<body><h1>Hello, world!</h1>",
"<p><a href='/osinfo'>OS Info</a></p>",
"</body></html>"]
.join('\n')

`<html><head><title>Hello, world!</title></head>
<body><h1>Hello, world!</h1>
<p><a href='/osinfo...
