Currently when I link something with line breaks, like poetry, the text in the link preview appears all on one line in applications like Discord. Is there a way to make sure link previews show line breaks?
Can you clarify how you are doing this. What do you mean "when I link something with line breaks". Do you mean enter text with line breaks in the Body of a page? If so, are you using Filtered Text and CKEditor (which are the default for Body)? I'm trying to enter text with line breaks in the Body using "Filtered Text" and CKEditor. When I click Preview it shows correctly.
Sorry, I really don't know how you are making Backdrop show a link preview like the one you posted - never done that before. Is this in a textarea field? Or what kind of field?
I know it's a long and difficult job to make Backdrop known and for people to realize the power (and simplicity) of the product. And I think you do a great job.

Looks good. Tres bien! It is definitely worth releasing that. We often have people looking for good simple themes and that is quite a thing of beauty whilst being simple.
You're right...

Thank you for your message. You are right. The more modules and themes there are, the more attractive Backdrop will be.
It's not the number of users that poses a problem for me, it's...

We don't expect modules to be perfect on first release. Sometimes it is good to get people using them. You can do releases with a beta label if you like (might need some help), but please don't...

Thanks for the reply! To clarify, I mean the opengraph link preview that appears when a link is posted somewhere like Discord -- here's an example:
The post itself has line breaks, but the preview does not -- I'm wondering how to make the preview display the line breaks as well

Does it display the same as a link preview in other platforms?
Perhaps it is just discord discarding the markup?
