+
+      Newlines are stripped, and if they need to be included, they must be explicitly added using ``\n``.
+
+      The generated contents of the U-Boot Image Tree Source (ITS) are as follows::

    :term:`UBOOT_FITIMAGE_ENABLE`
       This variable allows to generate a FIT image for U-Boot, which is one
       of the ways to implement a verified boot process.
