Can I have a command take up multiple lines to make it easier to read?

With Bigpipe, I could write up a command that would take up multiple lines and then paste it into the prompt via a putty session to create various things. E.g.:

    bigpipe pool pool1 '{
   monitor all tcp
   members
      1.2.3.4:7035
      1.2.3.5:7035
      1.2.3.6:7035
         monitor tcp
}'

When I try to do something similar with tmsh, it doesn't work. If I create a pool/virt with one long line of settings, it works fine. If I try to break it up so it's readable like the example above, then it doesn't seem to work.

Is there a way to do this with the tmsh stuff? Cam I just missing something?
