  Ok, so I had a string like this:

  let str = """
      Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
      Donec a dolor ultricies, tincidunt justo non, dignissim turpis.
      Nunc faucibus feugiat purus ac sagittis.
  """
  Run

  and the indentation at the beginning of each line was being kept.

  Then I do this:

  when defined(SOMETHING):
      let str = """
          Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
          Donec a dolor ultricies, tincidunt justo non, dignissim turpis.
          Nunc faucibus feugiat purus ac sagittis.
  Run

  And the string ends up like that:

  
  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
      Donec a dolor ultricies, tincidunt justo non, dignissim turpis.
      Nunc faucibus feugiat purus ac sagittis.
  Run

  How can I fix this?

  I cannot reproduce what you show on playground: https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3jo6

  In general for string indentation it is useful strutils.dedent

  static("""some text""".strip.unindent)
