Question

We have multiple inline scripts in our pipelines. They all have this format (depends on the task):

- task: CmdLine@2, Bash@3, AzureCLI@1, AzureCLI@2
  displayName: 'My Script'
  inputs:
    targetType: 'inline'
    script: |
      #!/bin/bash
      echo "Here starts my awesome code"

When I download a full YAML of the pipeline, I noticed that some task are rendered like this:

    script: |
      #!/bin/bash

But a lot of other tasks are rendered with a > sign (while we have a pipe | in the code):

    script: >
      #!/bin/bash

This makes the pipelines rendered very big with a lot of enters between the lines of code. How and why does this happen? When I use a | symbol, shouldn't it be rendered with a | as well, instead of a >?
