cli 3.6.0 changed the behavior of format_inline() so it now preserves newlines. Firstly, thanks for this change! 馃憦
Unfortunately, this new behavior doesn't apply to interpolated strings (find examples from cli unit tests below). Is this a bug or should we document the behavior depends on whether interpolation is used? Note: form feed characters are preserved in both cases.
library(cli)
x <- "foo\nbar"
format_inline(x)
#> [1] "foo\nbar"
format_inline("{x}")
#> [1] "foo bar"
x <- "\nfoo\n\nbar\n"
format_inline(x)
#> [1] "\nfoo\n\nbar\n"
format_inline("{x}")
#> [1] " foo bar "
x <- "foo\fbar"
format_inline(x)
#> [1] "foo\fbar"
format_inline("{x}")
#> [1] "foo\fbar"
x <- "\ffoo\f\fbar\f"
format_inline(x)
#> [1] "\ffoo\f\fbar\f"
format_inline("{x}")
#> [1] "\ffoo\f\fbar\f"
