# bad-quotes-multiline-string (Q001) Derived from the **flake8-quotes** linter. Autofix is always available. ## What it does Checks for multiline strings that use single quotes or double quotes, depending on the value of the [`flake8-quotes.multiline-quotes`] setting. ## Why is this bad? Consistency is good. Use either single or double quotes for multiline strings, but be consistent. ## Options * [`flake8-quotes.multiline-quotes`] ## Example ```python foo = ''' bar ''' ``` Assuming `multiline-quotes` is set to `double`, use instead: ```python foo = """ bar """ ``` [`flake8-quotes.multiline-quotes`]: ../../settings#multiline-quotes
