How to write several paragraphs in Front Matter?

1

Hello, friends!

Is it technically possible and correct to write several paragraphs within Front Matter value? e.g.:

valueName: "Long Paragraph 1
Long paragraph 2
End of the string"

I want to do something like that. Tried to write something like \n , but it does not help.

Expected output = just several paragraphs in <p>tag each.

Iā€™m trying to write \n but it does not create new lines.

Iā€™m trying to store paragraphs within my markdown articles front matter, not yaml config file. Is it somehow related?

Also, within my template files I just render content like {{ .Content }}, maybe I should write extra parameters, like Markdownify or something?

      Imagination is more **important** than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.
      
      It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
