I have looked around in case this question might have been answered already but to my dismay I found nothing useful.

How would you print a multiple line string? I am used to Python where triple quotes (""") are used to delimit the strings. How is this done in Processing?

String example = "I saw a bird in a tree.\nIt was blue.\nThen it flew away.";
size(220,220);
background(0);
text( example, 10, 20 );

Yes, you have to explicitly mark the end-of-lines with \n (or \r\n), and if you want to put the string over several lines of code, you have to use the concatenation operator:
String LINES =
"Foo" +
"Bar" +
"Zot";
