Multiline string: CarriageReturn + LineFeed (CRLF) problem #12

Description

@J-Setzer

My docx-Template contains the placeholder [[brief.anschrift]] which should be replaced by a multiline string:

Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4

The array passed to the $templator->render(...) function looks like this:

$values = array(
    'brief' => array( 'anschrift' => "Line1\r\nLine2\r\nLine 3\r\nLine 4" )
);

As a result, the placeholder [[brief.anschrift]] has been replaced by...

Line1 Line2 Line 3 Line 4

I have also tried several variations with single quotes ', double quotes ", CRLF within code, \r and \n as you can see here:

$values = array(
    'letter' => array(
        'address_1' => "Line1\r\nLine2\r\nLine 3\r\nLine 4"
        , 'address_2' => 'Line1\r\nLine2\r\nLine 3\r\nLine 4'
        , 'address_3' => "Line1
 Line2
 Line 3
 Line 4"
        , 'address_4' => "Line1\rLine2\rLine 3\rLine 4"
        , 'address_5' => "Line1\nLine2\nLine 3\nLine 4"
        , 'address_6' => "Line1<br>Line2<br>Line 3<br>Line 4"
 ));

For testing purposes the docx-Template contains the following placeholders:

And this is the result:

None of them returns the expected result. Am I missing something?

Question:
How can I pass a multi-line string containing CRLF?
