textToHighlight Prop doesn't maintain the spacing or newlines #80

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.

+1 for spaces and newlines.

You can use the white-space css property with the pre-wrap value.

For example, white-space: pre-wrap;.

You can pass it as a style prop in the Highlighter component.
