discord.js \n doesn't break line in embed description

const channel = options.getChannel("channel");
const title = options.getString("title");
const msg = options.getString("description");

const ancEmbed = new MessageEmbed()
  .setColor('DARK_VIVID_PINK')
  .setTitle(title)
  .setDescription(msg)
       
channel.send({embeds: [ancEmbed]});

What might be wrong with this? \n don't get replaced into new lines.. Discord Embed Image

It's because you're setting the description to the content of the user's command, and if the user inputs a \n, Discord automatically escapes it so that your interaction receives it as the text \n, not the newline \n. Here's a replace function using a regex that replaces all the text \n with an actual newline \n character of the content of the message:

var msg = options.getString("description");
msg = msg.replace(/\\n/g, "\n");
