Support for newlines in VSTS PRs

I have been creating PRs using the VSTS CLI and love how simple it is. However, one of the biggest problems for me is that there’s no way to include newlines in the --description flag.

I’ve tried:

vsts pr create -s foo -t bar -d "Hello <br/> world"

vsts pr create -s foo -t bar -d "Hello \n world"

vsts pr create -s foo -t bar -d "Hello `n world"

all of which show up as plaintext in the VSTS PR rather than actual new lines. Here’s my (not great) workaround in VSTS:

then I host a markdown file somewhere which has a rich description.

Am I doing something wrong?

@Koubek See my comment on June 4th. This issue has been left open because we plan to address it.
