About multi-line strings in javascript

It happened that I was working on a project where I kept html templates as strings in typescript files. Some like this:

var template = 
"<div class='game-panel-content'>" +    
    "<ul class='fleet-list' data-bind='foreach: availableShips'>" +
        "<li data-bind='click: $parent.selectShip'>" +
            "<span data-bind='text: name' />" +
        "</li>" +
    "</ul>" +
"</div>";

I want to keep the indentation for readability, the bad news is that CodeMaid (one of the VisualStudio extensions that I use to clean up the code) doesn't understand this multi-line string and removed the indentation :(

The good news is that there is another way to write a multi-line string in javascript that is both simpler to write and works well with CodeMaid:

var template =
"<div class='game-panel-content'>\
    <ul class='fleet-list' data-bind='foreach: availableShips'>\
        <li data-bind='click: $parent.selectShip'>\
            <span data-bind='text: name' />\
        </li>\
    </ul>\
</div>";
