Newline character in Cucumber-JVM parameters

Question

Is there any way of passing parameters containing newline characters into Cucumber-JVM scenarios?

As a workaround I'm putting "\n" strings into the parameter and replacing them with a newline at the beginning of the scenario method but it feels as if there might be a nicer way.

You can use Doc Strings using triple-quote. Example stolen from official wiki http://cukes.info/step-definitions.html
