You'll need to unescape them (which is pretty easy, a simple
replacement here).
For reference, this is invalid json[0]:
```
{
"1
2
3 "
}
```

I don't see an unescape function in phobos and below doesn't
seem to work
string msg2 =
parseJSON(msg)["markdown"].to!string.replace("\n", " ");
I used replace("\\n", "\n")

So I see the answer is that I don't understand json. A search
reveals that this is a common mistake.
