False positive: newlines in inscription=* #2302

Osmose flags the linefeed characters in the inscription textfield as non-printable. The wiki page suggests | or slashes /, but this approach is problematic because real objects might contain those symbols.

Initially reported this as a bug on iD editor, but I was referred here.

Perhaps you can first update the wiki to reflect that actual newlines may also be used? (Support definitely seems to vary per editor. In JOSM I'm unable to use a newline it seems, and if I modify the inscription the newline will be dropped, so it's probably best to first update the wiki, then get support from the major editors; otherwise negative side effects may arise where newlines get lost altogether, rather than remain as a pipe or slash character)
