# bad-quotes-multiline-string (Q001) Derived from the **flake8-quotes** linter. Autofix is always available. ### What it does Checks for multiline strings that use single quotes or double quotes, depending on the value of the [`multiline-quotes`](https://github.com/charliermarsh/ruff#multiline-quotes) setting. ### Why is this bad? Consistency is good. Use either single or double quotes for multiline strings, but be consistent. ### Example ```python foo = ''' bar ''' ``` Assuming `multiline-quotes` is set to `double`, use instead: ```python foo = """ bar """ ```
