When pasting some multiline text into input node as a string, it seems to be replacing linefeed/CRs with just a plain space.
Which is making it tricky to split the text into lines
My workaround is to paste into a text file, save it and the use file read node but that's a bit of a faff
Bug or feature? 
This is true of any HTML Input field on any webpage - they do not support multi-line content and strip newlines when you paste into them.
This is one of the reasons the Template node exists.
Never thought of using the template node - much easier workaround
