How to create a new config file in Ansible playbook

I wanted to create a file named /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/1000-force-ipv4-transport with the value set to ???Acquire::ForceIPv4 true;??? on 20 cloud servers hosted in AWS. I already setup Ansible playbook to automate stuff. How do I create a new file using Ansible playbook? Is it possible to create a complex file with many lines of text (say squid.conf or sshd_config) using Ansible devops IT automation tool?
