Description
Issue Description
The docs describes new line continuation characters as just \, however, in practice chat actually requires a space followed by \. This comes from this implementation in chat.py
self.content.append(user_content.rstrip(" \\"))
Steps to reproduce the issue
runa model- Begin typing a message with a continuation line.
e.g. "hello\
how are you?"
Describe the results you received
The new line character submits the message rather than continuing.
Describe the results you expected
A multiline message.
