Description
Hi Maarten,
I was just wondering what the reason is for following a different procedure for replacing \n characters with the UN dataset versus the Trump dataset https://github.com/MaartenGr/BERTopic_evaluation/blob/main/evaluation/data.py#L227.
I guess it has something to do with the longer length of the UN documents, being from debates as opposed to short form tweets. But what benefit does indicating new paragraphs with \p have compared to just a space?
Thanks for your efforts on BERTopic.

Research direction
Start at evaluation/data.py line 227 and compare the newline replacement procedures for the UN and Trump datasets. Determine whether the difference is intentional and document the rationale, including the effect of using \p instead of a space; the issue is resolved when that behavior is clearly explained or a concrete change is specified.
