Multi-line test output support

Is it possible to have multiple lines of stdout/stderr in the test output view?

In this build:
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/zeux/pugixml/build/30/tests

You can see that the PowerShell script reports a multi-line string via AppVeyor API:
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/zeux/pugixml/build/30#L94

But it's displayed as a single line in the test view.

   How do you call that API?

   Here's the code that I was using for that build:

   Write-Output "Captured output:"
   Write-Output $testOutput
     Update-AppveyorTest $target -Outcome Failed -StdOut $testOutput -ErrorMessage "Running failed"

   $testOutput is retrieved using Tee-Object:

   & .\$target | Tee-Object -Variable testOutput

   Not sure what type is testOutput - maybe it's a list of strings, and Update-AppveyorTest just concatenates them?..

   Yup, it was an implicit string array to string conversion; using out-string fixed it.

   Sorry for false alarm, I'm kinda new to PowerShell :)
