Getting String Definitions To Accept Multiple Lines?

For some reason, the syntax highlighting below is working how I'd like it to, but this is not how it interprets the code in Visual Studio. When I try to assign multiple lines to a string, it won't let me. Is there a way i can make the following work without combining all of my code into one line or using a += for each new line?

        string HtmlCode = "";
        HtmlCode =
            "
                <head>
                    <style>
                        *{margin: 0px;padding: 0px;font-family: Microsoft Sans Serif;font-size: 11px;}
                    </style>
                </head>
            ";

Prefix the string with an "@"

    string HtmlCode = "";
    HtmlCode =
        @"
            <head>
                <style>
                    *{margin: 0px;padding: 0px;font-family: Microsoft Sans Serif;font-size: 11px;}
                </style>
            </head>
        ";

Use literal strings:

string HtmlCode = @"                
    <head>
        <style>
        *{margin: 0px;padding: 0px;font-family: Microsoft Sans Serif;font-size: 11px;}             
        </style>
    </head>";

Use verbatim string by prefixing your string with @

string HtmlCode = "";
HtmlCode =
        @"
            <head>
                <style>
                    *{margin: 0px;padding: 0px;font-family: Microsoft Sans Serif;font-size: 11px;}
                </style>
            </head>
        ";
