### How do I change how the bot outputs multi-line messages?
|
||||
When output from a command contains newlines, PBot will convert the newlines

to spaces and output it as one message.
|
||||
|
||||
If you prefer to output each line instead, you can control this behavior with
|

the `general.preserve_newlines` and `general.max_newlines` registry entries. To
|
||||
set this behavior for specific channels, replace `general` with the `#channel`.
|
||||
|

For example:
|
||||
|
||||
<pragma-> !sh printf "a\nb\nc\nd\ne\n"
|
||||
<PBot> a b c d e
