Well,  your example works for me, too.   Experimenting a  little further
with my failed attempts to break  my "log" template into multiple lines,
I found that you can only break the template into multiple lines,  if it
either does  not contain any  escaped quotes,  or if the  whole template
definition is included in quotes.   If the multiple line template is not
a string,  neither `\"´ nor `\'´ are accepted,  while `\n´ is.   Is this
the way it should work?

That's perhaps a little bit  surprising  at first glance and should thus
be pointed out more clearly in the documentation.

Will do.  Thanks for the pointer :-)
