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?
