    <p>What's the best way to format a large blob of text in python? I don't mean formatting the output, but rather for readability. I've been trying to follow the <a href="http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/" rel="nofollow">guidelines for python layout</a>, but I don't see any remarks on how to format a large blob of text.</p> <p>For example:</p> <pre><code>class GenerateCalendar(object): def __init__(self): super( GenerateCalendar, self ).__init__() def getCalendarHeader( self ): print """ BEGIN:VCALENDAR PRODID:-//Atlassian Software Systems//Confluence Calendar Plugin//EN VERSION:2.0 CALSCALE:GREGORIAN X-WR-CALNAME;VALUE=TEXT: X-WR-CALDESC;VALUE=TEXT: """ </code></pre> <p>The large block of text looks terrible and it's not indented by 4 spaces, so it's hard to read.</p> <p>What'd I'd like to see is:</p> <pre><code> def getCalendarHeader( self ): print """ BEGIN:VCALENDAR PRODID:-//Atlassian Software Systems//Confluence Calendar Plugin//EN VERSION:2.0 CALSCALE:GREGORIAN X-WR-CALNAME;VALUE=TEXT: X-WR-CALDESC;VALUE=TEXT: """ </code></pre> <p>but this introduces white space to the beginning of the output.</p> <p>Any ideas on how I can make this follow the recommended layout for python? I'd like to keep it neat and easy to read. </p> <p>Is it possible to do so without doing a print for each line? e.g.</p> <pre><code>def getCalendarHeader( self ): print "BEGIN:VCALENDAR\n" print "PRODID:-//Atlassian Software Systems//Confluence Calendar Plugin//EN\n" print "VERSION:2.0\n" print "CALSCALE:GREGORIAN\n" print "X-WR-CALNAME;VALUE=TEXT:\n" print "X-WR-CALDESC;VALUE=TEXT:\n" </code></pre> <p>The above is the way I'd like to have the code appear, without resorting to doing a print on each line.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
