Reduce line continuation in excel - vba

Question

I'm trying to make excel create XML files using VBA (that my first time), so I managed to create a code but I keep getting the message that there are too many line continuations
Here is my code
Sub testXLStoXML()
sTemplateXML = _
"<?xml version='1.0'?>" + vbNewLine + _
"<offers>" + vbNewLine + _
" <offer>" + vbNewLine + _
" <offer_identifier>" + vbNewLine + _
" </offer_identifier>" + vbNewLine + _

"</offers>" + vbNewLine +
Is there a way to bypass the limit or make this work?

Answer 1

Per Microsoft, "There is a limit to the number of lines you can join with line-continuation characters. This error has the following cause and solution:
Your code has more than 25 physical lines lines joined with line-continuation characters, or more than 24 consecutive line-continuation characters in a single line. Make some of the constituent lines physically longer to reduce the number of line-continuation characters needed, or break the construct into more than one statement."
The line continuations are merely for ease of reading the code and are necessary to have after each tag the way you have it now
