How to split long commands over multiple lines in PowerShell

Question

How do you take a command like the following in PowerShell and split it across multiple lines?

&"C:Program FilesIISMicrosoft Web Deploymsdeploy.exe" -verb:sync -source:contentPath="c:workspacexxxmasterBuild\_PublishedWebsitesxxx.Web" -dest:contentPath="c:websitesxxxwwwroot,computerName=192.168.1.1,username=administrator,password=xxx"

Answer 1

Trailing backtick character, i.e.,

&"C:Program FilesIISMicrosoft Web Deploymsdeploy.exe" `
-verb:sync `
-source:contentPath="c:workspacexxxmasterBuild\_PublishedWebsitesxxx.Web" `
-dest:contentPath="c:websitesxxxwwwroot,computerName=192.168.1.1,username=administrator,password=xxx"

White space matters. The required format is Space`Enter.
