I just noticed this thing.  
When I have a variable in front matter(YAML or TOML) which is declared as a multiline string, Hugo doesn’t print it as a multiline string.

```
---
title: not displayed
description: |
  hello
  there
  how 
  are 
  you
---

```

and when printed using {{ .Description }}  
it prints  
hello there how are you

Same situation with TOML multiline declaration using “”" … “”" (triple quotes)

What could be the problem?

**SOLVED**  
Just needed to add Blackfriday Extension.  
By default, the Hugo markdown processor blackfriday doesn’t treat newline as   
  
So, just need to add

```
[blackfriday]
  extensions = ["hardLineBreak"]
```
