Jinja2 can not read multi line property values

This is the content of my.j2 template file

mvalue ={{ mvalue }}
svalue={{ svalue }}

and This is the content of the a.env file from which template files will read the value 

mvalue= first line
second line
svalue=singleline

Please see the output after running the j2cli 0.3.1-0 process ( Im running it on fish terminal)

 j2cli 0.3.1-0 my.j2 a.env
    mvalue =first line
    svalue=singleline

As you can see mvalue is getting only the First line as value. It's not getting the second line.

How can I read multi line values in j2 files?

.env files use shell syntax to define environment variables, so you should do this:

mvalue='first line
second line'
svalue=singleline

If you want to use YAML syntax, use

j2 my.j2 a.yml

With a.yml being

mvalue: |-
  first line
  second line
svalue: singleline
