How to insert a line break inside echo in shell script?

Navigation

I wanted to know if there is any way to insert a line break within the echo of the shell script.

For example, in the command: 

echo "Bom dia fulano"

I would like the output to be: 

Bom dia
fulano

I know you can do it like this: 

echo "bom dia"
echo "fulano"

But I would really like to know if there is any way to do this with a echo only.

Try 

echo -e "Bom dia\nfulano"

e causes the newline character to be interpreted.

You can use printf that works well: 

printf "Ola\nMundo\n"

This format also works: 

echo "
Bom dia

Fulano!"
