I think CDATA xml might be the thing you are looking for. Something like

<string name="the_text">
        <![CDATA[
           ... some text <br/>
           ... some text <br/>
        ]]>
</string>

You can also achieve the same without CDATA but with "\n"

<string name="the_text">"...some text \n ...some text \n"</string>

mind the double quotes, without which the line breaks wont happen.
