Hi everyone,

This snippet:

# Test blockinfle create

- name: Testing /tmp/foo  
blockinfile: dest=/tmp/foo create=yes block=‘My Content’  
become: false

Creates /tmp/foo with no ending newline after the END marker:

> **$ cat /tmp/foo**
> 
> # BEGIN ANSIBLE MANAGED BLOCK
> 
> My Content
> 
> # END ANSIBLE MANAGED BLOCK] **$**

Any suggestions?
