Add a symbol that imitates line-break

Sometimes you need to post information to your channel that is best viewed when its multiline, like a table with header and rows, list of items or some mini-report from the channel bot.

Since IRC can't use CRLF in messages, I suggest adding a way for channel mods (avoids abuse) to use a special symbol (or double-space as in markdown) that would visually act as a line break.

That way it would be possible for mods (users and bots) to post quick summaries to the channel that are easy to read and do not require several posts to make it multiline.

    Comfort and style are both crucial for creating a welcoming workspace. I especially liked the tips on balancing aesthetics with durability. A good office sofa not only enhances the office look but also boosts employee comfort and productivity. Definitely helpful for anyone furnishing a professional environment." https://profine.pk/office-sofas/

    Yeah, something like this would really help. I’ve faced this issue before when sharing song lists from Spotify without proper line breaks, it just looks messy. A clean way to format would make things so much easier to read.

    Twitch, we need Basic markdown support
    *italic text*,
    **bold text**,
    `Discord-style inline code` (greetings!),
    \*escaped, non-italic text\*,
    \n, new-line (otherwise CTRL+Enter); maybe only allowed for verified bots,
    etc.
    It would be really cool to have. As a streamer and bot dev, the first example that comes to mind might be:

    Wrong usage. `!help <topic>` to show help about a specific topic or command.

    Creating visual breaks within a text helps improve readability and emphasize different sections. For instance, when you’re writing a guide or a long explanation, adding a simple symbolic line break like --- can create a clean separation between ideas here https://vehiclecaraccident.com/. This technique is particularly useful in digital formats, as it helps readers pause and refocus.

    Line breaks for mods/bots would be really really useful for displaying lists of information.

    @Swift_gamers that doesn't work. Twitch just replaces `\n` with a space.

    if you are programming in NODE Js you can use \n to imitate a line break and Node will format it for you
