Formatting TextView

I have bulky-multi paragraph TextView. Contents of the TextView is loaded from Strings.xml.

I would like to show show multiple paragraphs. When I use <P></P> tag in strings.xml it is not reflected, the TextView shows all the script as one single paragraph.

Is there a way to break the text into several paragraphs?

The contents of strings.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <string name="hello">Hello World, sirukathaikal!</string>
    <string name="app_name">Eelathu Sirukathaikal</string>
    <string name="main_title">®ÆòÐî º¢Ú¸¨¾¸û</string>
    <string name="continue_label">njhlu;f...</string>
    <string name="about_label">nrayp cjtp</string>
