Description

The text I'm passing to the textToHighlight prop contains newlines because it is formatted in paragraphs. Unfortunately, the spacing or newlines are not maintained so my text doesn't look formatted anymore.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the rendering of the textToHighlight prop to ensure whitespace (newlines and spaces) are preserved, possibly by applying CSS white space property or using pre tags.
