The above is correct, unlike (I think) some other answers in this
thread. To be clear about it:
a = <<FOO
a#{1+1}
FOO

b = <<'FOO'
b#{1+1}
FOO

c = <<"FOO"
c#{1+1}
FOO

d = <<-FOO
d#{1+1}
	FOO

e = <<-'FOO'
e#{1+1}
	FOO

f = <<-"FOO"
f#{1+1}
	FOO

puts a, b, c, d, e, f
#=> 2
#=> #{1+1}
#=> 2
#=> 2
#=> #{1+1}
#=> 2
