how to wrap long lines in config?

[prosolutions at gmx.net]

some of the config lines look real ugly.  like:

       command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "Nagios System\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | /usr/bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$


is it possible to wrap these ala bash to make them look sane?  e.g.:

command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" \
"Nagios System\n\n\
Notification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\n\
Service: $SERVICEDESC$\n\
Host: $HOSTALIAS$\n\
Address: $HOSTADDRESS$\n\
State: $SERVICESTATE$\n\n\
Date/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\n\
Additional Info:\n\n\
$SERVICEOUTPUT$" \
| /usr/bin/mail -s \
"** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - \
$HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" \
$CONTACTEMAIL$
