issue edit: newline in body does not work

[htammen]

Describe the bug
I want to update the body of an issue with

jira issue edit issue-001 -b "Line 1  \nLine 2  \n\nanother line"

I expected that \n would be interpreted as newline but it is just added to the body as plain text .
This is how the decription looks like in the jira webui.
Line 1 \nLine 2 \n\nanother line

I also tried to use \, <br>, <br\>, \r\n, adding two spaces. Nothing worked.

@htammen @SimonHarteDP You need to pass it in a way that allows the shell to expand the character.

The following should work.

jira issue edit issue-001 -b $'Line 1  \nLine 2  \n\nanother line'

Words of the form $'string' are treated specially. The word expands to string, with backslash-escaped characters replaced as specified by the ANSI C standard.

Thank you very much @ankitpokhrel. It works.
