If you have a generic_variable_definition value that consists of multiple lines, due to how the .st file is built up, it inserts spaces as of the second line, indenting the content.

    &GENERIC_VARIABLE_NAME, GENERIC_VARIABLE_CONTENT:{name, content |"&name&" string => "&content&",

Resulting generated code example:

    "var_authorized_key_final" string => "${generic_variable_definition.auth_key_1}
    ${generic_variable_definition.auth_key_2}",

That results in a content, when written to a file:

ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAA
    ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2
