Multi-line placeholder in writer

Kirby 3 Questions 🤔

How do I write a multi-line placeholder. In particular with the writer field (just in case)

This:

writing:
  type: writer
  placeholder: >
    blah
    blah
    blah

…appearas inline as “blah blah blah” in the field.

I did some research, look at these fields declaration…

writer:
  type: writer
  placeholder: |
    blah
    blah
    blah
text:
  type: text
  placeholder: |
    blah 
    blah
    bleh          
textarea:
  type: textarea
  placeholder: |
    blah 
    blah
    bleh

… and how they render …

Is this intended ?

I see how in a text field we may expect lr to be turned into nothing, but why would writer field turn them into spaces ?

I also looked at how each field stores text in the content file:

----

Writer: <p>blah</p><p>blah</p><p>blah</p>

----

Text: blah blah blah

----

Textarea:

blah
blah
blah

----

I then tried writing the placeholder for the writer field using p tags, but they just show.

Sooo… what’s the deal?

Thanks
