In Facebook Messenger chat,we can break a line by press "SHIFT+ENTER".
So how to break line by Facebook Graph API(Messenger API).
I've seen in a few answers that the Graph API accepts <center></center> instead of <br> and some other parts of their API seem to accept \r\n.

Is there currently any way of sending a line break and if there is where it it documented?
