When I have a TextView with a long text, I usually have to leave it in one line which is later very hard to edit. If I use any kind of formatting, like on this image

Then I get an error.

enter image description here

I would like to know how to format such long text into multi-line text without producing errors?

EDIT

I was not precise in my Q. It seems that this can be solved in Eclipse. The problem is IntelliJ IDEA and its formatting command Ctrl+Alt+L which does not pass by compiler in the file strings.xml. The snapshots are from that IDE.
