How to keep line breaks in NWC task assignments

Hi guys,

We are using an internal API to call Nintex and assign tasks. 

We will be passing it several blocks of text and I would like to somehow format it correctly into the task emails. A basic element is creating a line break, but I cannot get it to work. The number of items in the list can change each time, some runs it wont have a list at all.

Step 1. Create a string with line breaks.

Step 2. Looks okay in the Instance details.
 

Step 3. Email arrives and the formatting is gone, and it’s all one sentence.

Is there any steps I am missing to achieve this? Thank you!
