Store them in Firebase Storage, as .md files, they'll be downloaded as they are. Just as if you are fetching images or any other blobs, works great. Check it out, documentation here.

You can use this approach with firebase by explicitly converting the multiline content using following javascript function as an example, you can easily write it in dart and simply use this function to store content and parse it again whenever required

function multilineToSingleLine(text) {
    return text.replace(/\n/g, '#NEWLINE#');
}

function singleLineToMultiline(text) {
    return text.replace(/#NEWLINE#/g, '\n');
}
