+While looking to split a multiline and space separated string and not having any look with `strings.Split()` I came across this somewhat oddly names function:
+
+```go
+import (
+    "fmt"
+    "strings"
+)
+
+func main() {
+    input := `This is 
+a multiline, space 
+separated string`
+
+    output := strings.Fields(input)
+
+    fmt.Println(output) // ["This", "is", "a", "multiline,", "space", "separated", "string"]
+}
+```
