Using Cucumber with Doc Strings

Has anyone been able to get Cucumber for Appian to work with Doc Strings? They are a standard Gherkin Step Argument so I think they should be supported.

My use cases are 1) sending JSON to a Web API Post and 2) Sending multi-line text to a paragraph field. I specifically want to use a Doc String for the web API post because Cucumber is interpreting the double quotes in JSON as step arguments and not treating it as a single argument.

I understand that I may be able to write some custom Java but I'm hoping and expecting Doc Strings to be supported natively by Cucumber For Appian because they are standard Gherkin syntax.

Thanks in advance for any help!
