Preferred method for saving formatted text in string fields?

It's still early days for me in Convex and my app. For now I need to display a block of text made up of a number of paragraphs. What is the secret sauce to copy/paste into a string field and maintain paragraphs? Eventually I will be building something more sophisticated with TipTap or similar. For now, I'd like this block to have some paragraph breaks. I tried \r and \n thinking it might interpret those but it doesn't seem to.

Hi @everyone with everything going on today I forgot to post on discord about our EU launch! We have a region in Dublin now! You can start using it immediately, even for folks on the free plan. https://news.convex.dev/we-finally-got-our-eu-visa/ Stay tuned for more regions but also stay tuned for more infra improvements where we improve latency for teams no matter where their servers are located. Just at the tip of the iceberg re all the optimizations we have lined up.
