we need more information about how the text is being displayed to give you a really good answer.

Handling line breaks is the responsibility of the entity handling the display, and so, what you need to send depends greatly on how the text is being displayed.

For example, if your chat bot is for the web, you might be able to get it to display line breaks by sending <br> instead of \n, since that is the line break code for HTML.

That said -- accepting and displaying raw HTML from your back end could represent a serious security risk.

If I was designing a this whole thing, I would use \n to represent the line break in NodeJS, and on the web where I displayed the text, I would

  • take apart the string (string.split("\n")),
  • create a new DOM element for each part of the string,
  • make sure these elements were display: block, and
  • put the text into each of those elements via the .textContent property.

This final step avoids making the browser parse HTML, mitigating that security risk.
