multi line docker run command on windows

I want to run multi line docker run command on windows.

say,

docker run --name packer \
-d ekambaram/packer:1.4.0

getting the below error

C:\Users\ekambaram_pasham>docker run --name packer \
docker: invalid reference format.
See 'docker run --help'.

C:\Users\ekambaram_pasham>-d ekambaram/packer:1.4.0
'-d' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

In the command prompt on windows I was able to run multi line docker run commands as shown below

docker run --name packer ^
-d ekambaram/packer:1.4.0

use ^ as command separator instead of \ 

C:\Users\ekambaram_pasham>docker run --name packer ^
More? -d ekambaram/packer:1.4.0

For PowerShell, you will need to substitute with ` (back tick) instead of ^ or \ as below

docker run -p 80:80 -p 443:443 `
           -h hostname.domain `
           -e "MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=password" `
           -e "SOGO_WORKERS=1" `
           -e "POSTMASTER_PASSWORD=(plain)password" `
           -e "IREDAPD_PLUGINS=['reject_null_sender', 'reject_sender_login_mismatch', 'greylisting', 'throttle', 'amavisd_wblist', 'sql_alias_access_policy']" `
           -v iredmail_mysql:/var/lib/mysql `
           -v iredmail_vmail:/var/vmail `
           -v iredmail_clamav:/var/lib/clamav `
           --name=iredmail lejmr/iredmail:mysql-latest
