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.

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
