This can be useful for passing product information to include in the

resulting appliance file. Packer JSON configuration file example:
|
|
|
|

|
|

A VirtualBox [VM description](https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch08.html#idm3756)
|
|
|
|
|
may contain arbitrary strings; the GUI interprets HTML formatting.
|
|
|
|
|
However, the JSON format does not allow arbitrary newlines within a
|
|
|
|
|
value. Add a multi-line description by preparing the string in the
|
|
|
|
|
shell before the packer call like this (shell `>` continuation
|
|
|
|
|
character snipped for easier copy & paste):
