[Python] How to replace a text with a respect to spaces and new lines using odfdo

I have the following code in my Python script:

body.replace("MAIN_TEXT", """some multiline \n\n text """)

When I try to replace "MAIN_TEXT" with the multiline string, the result I get is: some multiline text

How do I preserve the line breaks? This is my code:

`
from pathlib import Path
from odfdo import Document

_DOC_SEQUENCE = 700
DATA = Path(__file__).parent / "data"
SOURCE = "lorem.odt"
OUTPUT_DIR = Path(__file__).parent / "recipes_output" / "replaced_text"
TARGET = "lorem_replaced.odt"


def save_new(document: Document, name: str):
OUTPUT_DIR.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
new_path = OUTPUT_DIR / name
print("Saving:", new_path)
document.save(new_path, pretty=True)


def search_replace(document):
body = document.body

body.replace("MAIN_TEXT", """some multiline \n\n text


""")

def main():
document = Document(DATA / SOURCE)
search_replace(document)
save_new(document, TARGET)


if __name__ == "__main__":
main()`
