I'm trying to model a YAML-like DSL in Xtext. In this DSL, I need some Multiline String as in YAML.

description: |
  	Line 1
    line 2
    ...

My first try was this:

terminal BEGIN:
	'synthetic:BEGIN'; // increase indentation
terminal END:
	'synthetic:END'; // decrease indentation
terminal MULTI_LINE_STRING:
	"|"
	BEGIN ANY_OTHER END;

and my second try was

terminal MULTI_LINE_STRING:
	"|"
	BEGIN
	((!('\n'))+ '\n')+
	END;

but both of them did not succeed. Is there any way to do this in Xtext?
P.S. I asked the same question on
