Use pipes

The pipe symbol at the end of a line in YAML signifies that any indented text that follows should be interpreted as a multi-line scalar value. See the YAML spec.

Specifically, the pipe indicates that (except for the indentation) the scalar value should be interpreted literally in such a way that preserves newlines. Conversely, the > character indicates that multi-line "folded" scalar follows, meaning that newlines are converted to spaces.

what is the use of pipe symbol in yaml

title: |
    | title 
    | subtitle
output: pdf_document
