Newlines in step conditions

Not applicable

When creating steps in a proxy or target (via the XML) it would be great if newlines where more supported.

<Step>
    <Name>FooBar</Name>
    <Condition>
        variablea = "foo" and
        variableb = "bar"
    </Condition>
</Step>

This is currently not supported however and caused errors when deploying.

There is a workaround however...

<Step>
    <Name>FooBar</Name>
    <Condition>
        variablea = "foo" and \
        variableb = "bar"
    </Condition>
</Step>

Which is to escape the newlines
