-# Rewrite a strings file to get rid of line break/whitespace combinations that get stripped when building with Gradle.
-#
-# Example:
-#   <string name="account_size_changed">
-#   Account \"<xliff:g id="account">%s</xliff:g>\" shrunk from
-#   <xliff:g id="oldSize">%s</xliff:g>
-#   to
-#   <xliff:g id="newSize">%s</xliff:g>
-#   </string>
-#
-# will be rendered as
-#
-#   Account "account" shrunk from10MB to1MB
-#
-# when built with Gradle, but displays fine when built with Ant.
