blockinfile: content="{{ item.content }}" -- Making it pretty

[John Harmon]

I have the following which works. However, I would like to make the bash script code "pretty".  It is found under the "content" section of the with_items.  How can I do this?

    - name: Ensure myscript.sh contains directory checks
      blockinfile:
        dest: "/home/{{ user.stdout }}/Scripts/myscript.sh"
        insertafter: "{{ item.regexp }}"
        marker: "## {mark} added by Ansible - {{ item.define }}"
        content: "{{ item.content }}"
      with_items:
        - { regexp: "^trap.*exit\ 1.*1\ 2\ 3\ .*", define: "Check for /interface", content: "if [ -f /interface/ ]; then echo 'The /interface/$NATU directory is missing, aborting!'; exit 1; fi" }
        - { regexp: "^NATU.*interface.*grep\ natu.*", define: "Check for /interface/natu", content: "if [ -f /interface/$NATU ]; then echo 'The /interface/$NATU directory is missing, aborting!'; exit 1; fi" }

I want to have the content injected into the file as follows (which can easily be done without a loop, but I wish to do this within the loop):

if [ -f /interface/ ]; then
  echo 'The /interface/$NATU directory is missing, aborting!'
  exit 1
fi

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried using \n for the newline?
