Hello,

when we use two newlines in our yaml file, it breaks the response into two messages. Example:

```auto
 utter_test_newlines:
  - text: |-
      Hey man
      Druhý riadok

      Štvrtý riadok

```

This will produce two responses `Hay man\nDruhý riadok` and `Štvrtý riadok`, see the image (the same on callback channel)

Please, how can we preserve newlines and keep it in one response message only?

I can’t make sure this is a bug. But to do that. you expected, you can try. this way:

```auto
 utter_test_newlines:
  - text: "Hey man\nDruhý riadok\n\nŠtvrtý riadok"

```

Need to add, that we use php yaml\_emit function [PHP: yaml\_emit - Manual](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.yaml-emit.php) So it’s not very convenient to adjust the yaml format.
