The following differences are described regarding the content display in the case of multiline strings using " "" and'''.

1. print()
2. automatic echoing done by the interactive interpreter:

I tried it with an appropriate sentence.

>>> poem='''She sells seashells at the seashore.
...         Mirror mirror on the wall who is the fairest of them all?
...         A lie is a lie is a lie, no matter how white, how small,
...         how incorporating of a smidgen of truth there be in it.'''

>>> print(poem)
She sells seashells at the seashore.
        Mirror mirror on the wall who is the fairest of them all?
        A lie is a lie is a lie, no matter how white, how small,
        how incorporating of a smidgen of truth there be in it.

>>> poem
'She sells seashells at the seashore.\n        Mirror mirror on the wall who is the fairest of them all?\n        A lie is a lie is a lie, no matter how white, how small,\n        how incorporating of a smidgen of truth there be in it.'

At the time of automatic echoing, "'(single quotation)" is added before and after the content, and the line feed symbol is also displayed as \ n.
