Excellent. This is, btw, what GNUmed now does to \n contained
in data which is piped as placeholder replacement into a
LaTeX template. Say, if you've got a multiline sOap row which
goes into a table cell GNUmed will replace the \n with
\newline (because \n would not communicate have the desired
effect to LaTeX and \\ would end the table row).
