rspec users - Nov 2007 - How to represent Story of Life grid in Then clause

In this story from Dan''s Game of Life:

Scenario: the grid has three cells
    Given 3 x 3 grid
    When I create a cell at 0, 0
    And I create a cell at 0, 1
    And I create a cell at 2, 2
    Then the grid should look like:
      XX.
      ...
      ..X

How do you set up matchers for the grid at the end.  Are all the
indented lines after a Then passed to the Then matcher as separate
strings with multiple Then()s getting called or a single string
separated by new lines?

Thanks

Ed

No, they aren''t (see http://rspec.lighthouseapp.com/projects/5645/ 
tickets/132-plain-text-stories-should-support-given-and-given).  
However, multiline parameters aren''t supported in plain text story  
steps yet, either.
