Description of the bug

Whitespace rendering is different from regular convention. For example, to use new line in eww you'll have to put \\n whereas it should be \n. Using \n prints regular n instead . This makes it difficult to use escape character so you can't print \n, \t, or \ as plain text.

Reproducing the issue

Use regular escape characters such as \n, \t.

Expected behaviour

\n should print new line not regular n.

Additional context

escaping things is handled suboptimally, i agree. i'll investigate how this can be improved since rendering a \ required the following eww code: "\\\\"

i think this stems from the fact that the text is pretty much sanitized twice
