how to create issues by REST api with multi line description?

I wrote the xml like below:

  <description>
    |a|This is not to be confused with another useful proposed feature that would do digest emails for notifications.|
    |b||
    |c||
    |d||
  </description>

But , the result in the created issues was like below:

|a|This is not to be confused with another useful proposed feature that would do digest emails for notifications.||b||c|||d||

What should I fill in the xml file to instead of the CrLf? Thanks!

Well I was searching for exact same solution as you, and tried something. and for me the solution is this:

<issue>
<project_id>dummy-sandkasse</project_id>
<subject>subject bja test 07-01-2013</subject>
<assigned_to_id>39</assigned_to_id>
<tracker_id>1</tracker_id>
<description>Description 1</description>
<description>Description 2</description>
<description>Description 3</description>
<description>Description 4</description>
<start_date>2012-12-31</start_date>
<estimated_hours>7</estimated_hours>
</issue>

Looks ok but I get this --- into my description?
Description

- Description 1
- Description 2

- Description 4
