Specifying large text into a string

[teguh123]

Say I have a long text

Say I want to specify that $a contain that long text

How do I do so?

I saw the following in a plugin code:

$wp_ozh_betterfeed['footer'] = <<<FEEDFOOT
<p>%%readmore%%</p>
<hr noshade style="margin:0;height:1px" />
<p><a href="%%blogurl%%">%%blogname%%</a> |
<a href="%%SyndicationSourceLink%%">Source</a> |
<a href="%%posturl%%">Snippet Archive</a> |
<a href="%%posturl%%#comments">%%comments_text%%</a> |
%%categorylinks%% |
<a href="%%feedURL%%">Syndicate</a>
</p>

FEEDFOOT;

What is feedfoot?

Is using feedfoot the way to go?
