Windows: How to specify multiline command on command prompt?

Question

how do we extend a command to next line?

basically whats the windows alternative for linux\'s

ls -l \\
/usr/

here we use backslash

Answer 1

The caret character works, however the next line should not start with double quotes. e.g. this will not work:

C:\ ^
"SampleText" ..

Start next line without double quotes (not a valid example, just to illustrate)
