I want to do this:
#define kDescriptionText @"Some text here..."
"...and more continued here."
I've also tried:
@"...and more continued here."
Is this possible? Or must it all be on one looooooong line?

A:
Use a backslash, as in here:
NSLog(@"Some text here...\
Some text here...");

If I do this it gives the error "Missing terminating character"

It really doesn't :-).

As stated in the question, "Are multiple lines in a header file..." Maybe that is making the difference? Yes it works for NSLog but not for my header file.

Just tried it, worked fine: #define BLAH @"this is a \(newline)long string"

Ah, thanks to Nevan as well. I think there was a space after the line. Yes, it does work ;)

Since I can't put code in a comment, here's Paul's suggestion for the define
#define BLAH @"this is a \
long string"
which worked for me.
Make sure there are no characters (including spaces) after the backslash.

I prefer:
#define FOO @"hgdhjdlhd" \
"gfgfgfd"
Or
NSString* const kFoo = @"gfsdhg"
"grgfsdgfsd";

I like this the most and will go with it, it clearly shows the ends of the strings
