Description
### Steps to reproduce
1. Send
```
a \ >
b
```
### Outcome
#### What did you expect?
The text is rendered in two lines.
#### What happened instead?
`a \ > b`
However this behavior is only visible when the text contains a character that is escaped to entities like `>`. Element 1.11.29 renders the test case in 2 lines, but I'm guessing this behavior is even more broken.
