<summary>How to send a multi-line announcement?</summary>

Discord doesn't support multi-line announcements in commands directly, but you can:

1. **Use Discord mobile:** Send multi-line announcements without issues.
2. **Desktop workaround:** Write your announcement as a regular message. When ready, add `/announce now channel:#general message:` at the beginning (replace `general` with your channel name).
3. **Use /embed:** Create an embed for a multi-line announcement.
